Hi James Thanks, I have taken on board what you've said: The action was scheduled at 11pm but now it is 1am. The system is an iMac with 2GB memory so I will put more in. The disk has ~70GB free I'm using Activity Monitor to watch the memory usage. The thrashing is the problem though, how long should I wait for the memory to be freed, because I have been waiting 15 mins or longer? Also if I try to quit other apps, if seems they never completely quit. They stay on Force Quit and even the Finder doesn't relaunch. I would like to add a condition to not start if the computer is being used, but I can't logout because everything is still open. So, which is better 'pause' or 'suspend'? Which one can handle a system restart in the middle?

We have an capture which runs nightly backing up a 400GB volume. The archive keeps getting corrupted requiring repair. The repair (first radio button) takes from 12-24 hours, locking up the computer from work for the next day or so. These 'corruptions' happen either when I pause or suspend a backup. In one case I needed to pause it for an hour to finish a job, but the computer stops dead when a QRecall backup commences, that I am not able to quit any running applications, they just 'hang'. And the computer completely locks up, I can't even Relaunch Finder. So after waiting for things to come back up, I finally have to restart and the archive gets corrupted. I read somewhere they you say pausing the capture should be re-startable, and not corrupt the archive. Is this the case? I have had to do about 5 repairs now since we started with QRecall, and neither suspend nor pause seem to stop QRecall effectively so the computer can be used. This it is really affecting my productivity! Please tell me the correct way to work with QRecall in this scenario.
