Question: Why does Dantz Retrospect show Internet activity while backing up my hard drive to an external hard drive? I notice contstant Internet activity while backing up to an external drive.  Makes me think that all my data is backing up to some unknown server.  I do not have a server.  So, I shut down my high speed Internet connection and Retrospect stops the back up.  Why is this happening.  How can I backup my computer with Retrsopect without worrying about my data going somewhere I don't know?  Thank you for your response.

Answer: Your external drive is probably set as a network drive, so when you shut down your network, it stops.
