tombancroft Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hi I am running retrospect 5.1 on OS9 G3 and trying to backup an OSX client on a 10 Gig HD G4 PB running 10.2.8 using backup server over an ethernet network. The G3 is polling the G4 correctly, starts to back up and then starts scanning files. This takes forever and seems to find ginormous numbers of files (200000+) and folders (50000+). Finally the backup stops as it Retro runs out of memory when trying to compare XWorld (name of drive on G4PB) with Caber 2002 (the backup set). Any ideas appreciated. I have allocated more memory to Retrospect in Get Info and will leave it overnight.... Best Wishes Tom Bancroft www.cabermusic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombancroft Posted January 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Before you say RTFM I found a section on this in the user guide so I am iuncreasing the app memory significantly. Sorry to trouble y'all. Tom B www.cabermusic.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombancroft Posted January 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Well I increased retrospect's memory to 28 Mb and still no joy. Any ideas appreciated. Cheers Tom B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you actually increased it to 128 Mb? You don't provide the memory configuration of your G3, but allocating as much as possible to this application will probably be necessary.
