RE: Purchasing a new system
I have to put my .02 in here. Although I had initially had issues with Ecrix I believe there technology if far superior to what is available on the market at the same price. Since I know have it working it hasn't failed me yet. I do nightly full backups of 18 gig at 247 meg/min.

She's worried that, should something happen to the company in two years or so (since they're the only one doing this kind of tape/drive now), we won't have the $$ in our budget to purchase a whole new system. I keep working on her. :) Julia, I don't buy that argument. What if Sony decides to stop making AIT's? Then what? Sony's AIT is just as proprietary as Ecrix's VXA. After all, isn't the MacOS proprietary -- now? And DLT was proprietary at the beginning too. I look at it like this...somebody has to be the first and they're going to work with their proprietary formula until some other company decides to pay the licensing or OEM (or whatever they're called in hardware) fees.

High CPU Usage
Just installed a DDS-4 hooked to an Adaptec 39160 card. Backing up three hard drives and when Retrospect hits drive 2 CPU usage jumps to 95-100% and stays there. Task manager shows Retrospect taking all the CPU. Usage when backing up and comparing drive 1 is around 12%. What could cause this?

RE: restoring windows 2000 registry?
Andrew, I am a relatively new user of Retrospect 5.15 on the Win2K environment and simply love it. Have used Veritas and ArcServe and both don't even come close. Dantz support as well as respect for the Customer is just wonderful. They are one awesome company. As to your question I have to say using backup software to restore the registry is doable but hasn't ever really worked for me. Don't have an answer to get you out of the jam your in but here is something that could help in the future. There is a program that could be used in conjunction with Retrospect called ConfigSafe (http://www.configsafe.com/). This enables you to backup the registry and export to external media. I just give this info to be helpful, not to sell any product. Adam Is there a way to do restore a client's Win2K registry from Retro 4.2 Mac? Client has 5.1.5 on it. Andrew, Is there any chance at all that you used Dantz' Registry Backup Manager?

Retrospect and Adaptec 39160
Hello All, He is what is happening. I had a 2940U2W that powered my two LVD hard drives and a DDS4 Dat drive. Performance was great. Backup ran at around 250 meg/min. All termination was done with active terminators connected to the cables. I have since changed to the Adaptec 39160. On channel A I have a HP 9210 CRW. Channel B has 2 IBM LVD drives and the DDS4 Dat drive. Performance on the hard drives is fine. Dat drive now backs up at 30 meg/min. I have installed the most current drives from the adaptec site for Win 2000. What is going on. Adaptec has no idea?? Is this something to do with Retrospect?

DDS4 or AIT 35/70
I am trying to decide which to buy for a customer to backup an NT Server 2000 with 5 Clients (Mac and PC). Option 1 HP 40i DDS4 Option 2 AIT 35/70 Thanks, Adam
RE: DDS4 or AIT 35/70
By the way I am using Retrospect 5.11 for Windows 2000 and it works great. The others including ArcServe, Veritas and Ultrabac don't even come close. Back to my origianl question. I know both drives are great just not sure which to get.

DDS 3 Compression problems
Hello all, I have a APS DDS 3 external unit. Can't get more than 10 gig out of it. Native should be 12. Retrospect shows hardware compression enabled in the storage set but in the script the box for software compression isn't grayed out like it should be. This indicates that hardware compression isn't really working. Called APS and they are useless. They keep saying that it's the type of files I am backing up even though this new unit replaced an older DDS 3 that backup up the same drives (17 Gig). Please help. Adam
RE: Backing up FileMaker Pro 5 on a PC
Another option is to use a product called Open File Manager from St Bernard Software (www.stbernard.com). Backs up all open files no matter what they are. OFM assentially takes a snapshop of the open file/s then deletes the snapshot after they are backup up. This product even can backup the NT SAM files and an Exchange Post Office while open. It works very well and takes little resources. I use it with all my NT Servers. In my office we run a Filemaker 5 database for customer tracking and billing. OFM handles it with no problem. So nice not to worry that a database or any other file is open. Version 6.2 of OFM does work with Retrospect.
