I just installed Client 5.1 on a Win2K box for
the first time.
Could someone techy from Dantz weigh in on this?
I think some of the participants in this discussion have hit on some of

I just installed a VXA-1 drive on a G3 Mac for network backups, and am
seriously impressed by the speed of the thing. Some of the sources that were
backed up during my testing copied at speeds nearing 200MB/min! But, I'm
wondering about compares, because the compare speeds I've seen thus far in

Wow -- where to begin?
1. Retrospect only copies unique files to the backup set, which does reduce
the amount of data copied to the backup set without reducing safety.

There's nothing special about a Windows 2000 client that would affect this.
