Re: during retrospect rewind the tape...
Actually this allows me to attach the tape drive to the power plug on the back of the CPU so it shuts down with the system. Without the wait it will power it off DURING the rewind.

My guess is that Retrospect is waiting until the command that it sent to the tape drive (to REWIND) has completed before freeing up the machine for other tasks.

during retrospect rewind the tape...
When I quit retrospect, retrospect rewind the tape of my DAT backup system.. During this process, about 30-60 seconds, retrospect keep all mac processor time and does'nt permit to clic behind, even the finder... !?? I think that's a nice feature well thinking by Dantz, but I don't see the raison.. Could you explain me the utilities of such feature ?
