Upon backing up my e-mac running 9.2&10.2.4 the following has occurred. When attempting to boot 9.2 the system goes to the backup drive to pickup whatever is needed to boot with the backup drive in place. The "freeze" lasts about a minute and a half as the backup drive does its thing and then all is well. If the backup drive is disconnected the OS9.2 boot is not a problem. The drive is a Maxtor 5000LE and the software is Retrospect Express 5.0.236. The backup went well in that all files were successfully backed up, but the "freeze" problem is really annoying. Dantz say it isn't their problem and Maxtor say the same. Both are steering me to Apple on the presumption that it is the OS9.2 that is requiring something from the backed up files for it to boot successfully.
