Re: Retro 4.2A Mac question
Is this an overall OS limit, or an I/O limit? I mean, I can get some pretty hellacious FTP rates on 100+MB files in transmit, with multiple transfers going. The MacOS, especially with the changes in 9.0 DOES support some pre-emptive threads, and you can, (I think) run I/O processes with this. The OS is a lot better at multitasking than it once was, and the "Mac OS is not a multitasking operating system so right now that is just not possible." issue sounds like it needs revisiting. john > From: Ryan La Riviere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "retro-talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 18:49:06 -0500 > To: "retro-talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: Retro 4.2A Mac question > > On 12/16/1999 somewhere around the time of 14:37 -0800, Matthew Tevenan spoke > about "RE: Retro 4.2A Mac question": > > >> Reply to: RE: Retro 4.2A Mac question >> Ryan, >> >> At this time Retrospect can only do one backup to one destination at a >> time.

Something similar to being able to download via FTP from multiple sites at the same time within the same program.

RE: Retro 4.2A Mac question
Reply to: RE: Retro 4.2A Mac question Ryan, At this time Retrospect can only do one backup to one destination at a time. The Mac OS is not a multitasking operating system so right now that is just not possible. Windows NT is a multitasking operating system, although Retrospect for Windows does not have this capability at this time either. This is something we'd like to implement in a future release.
