Retrospect will now start scanning your system, the

window will open and the backup process

Normal backup may take a long time, the first time. Each
time after that, it will take less time. This is because
Retrospect compares the files in your actual system to the
backup version and only copies new files or files that have
been modified since the last backup. For more information
on backup strategies, see the Express User’s Guide.
When the backup is complete, the message: ‘Execution
completed successfully’ should appear.
If your system backup was successful, you can quit Retrospect.
