Reply to: RE: ASIP & Retro 4.2...an observation
John,
When testing AppleShare 6.3, OS 9, and Retrospect 4.2, we didn't
encounter any problems. When encountering issues like this, the culprit usually
turns out to be something unique to the user's configuration.
I'd be very interested in hearing if quitting that server agent program
solves the problem.
If not, what happens when you run Retrospect after disabling AppleShare?
Does the problem then go away? If it doesn't, there are other issues at
work here.
I'm interested to know how you've come to the conclusion that 4.2 is more
of a "CPU pig" than 4.1. We actually didn't change that much, at least
that I'm aware of, that could affect how much CPU time we're taking.
You can try putting Retrospect into the background, which will make it
take approximately 30 to 40% less CPU time, but will also slow your backups.
