Energy Saver, 10.2.4, backups, and FireWire
Authored by: lamont on Feb 25, '03 07:58:36PM

You just may have helped me.
I use Retrospect Express to backup to an Iomega Peerless, since installing 10.2.4 I have had the process stall during long backups (i.e. recycle backups).
I usually restart and then rebuild the backup catalogue then try again.
Perhaps I should wait a bit longer to see if the"beach ball of death" eventually stops spinning and the Peerless reactivates?

Hmm, I never got the spinning beach ball. Just the regular Retrospect "turning gears" busy cursor. You might be seeing a different problem...?

Also, once it got into this stalled mode, no amount of waiting seemed to help. Even pressing the "Stop" button in Retrospect wouldn't help because it would then try to close the session on the CD burner, so it would stall there instead because it was still unable to communicate with the burner. Aside from force-quitting Retrospect, my only way out was to pull the FireWire plug.
