I request some help from any Retrospect users. I recently bought
Retrospect 1.2 and a Relax Technology 150Mb tape backup system.
Both function well except for one particular annoyance. Retrospect
crashes/hangs when my After Dark 2.0 screen saver kicks in. I'm doing
a multi-volume (disk) backup to tape. At the end of the last volume
when Retrospect is updating the catalog, the system will crash/hang
if After Dark kicks in. My only work around has been to disable After
Dark before running my backups. Have any of you ever seen/heard of
this problem?
One other question for those of you who use tape backup systems. Where
do you put your tape drive on the SCSI chain? Currently I have mine in
the middle, between my 40 Mb removable and my CD ROM. Is there any
performance advantage to having the unit at the end (terminating) the
SCSI chain or have it "closer" to the CPU?
Configuration: Mac IIci, 80Mb Internal HD, CD Tech CD-ROM, Relax Tech
150 Mb Teac Tape backup, MassMicro 45 Mb Removable (terminates
SCSI chain). System 6.05, Finder 6.1.5, miscellaneous inits
and cdevs.
Any help would be appreciated. Please respond via e-mail, I'll summarize
if there is enough interest. Thanks!
