I'm running a Mac II w/5MB Ram, Sys7 and Retro 1.3, with a TEAC 150MB
tape drive, and I've backed up my HD twice in system7 without a
problem, including creating the archive once and incrementally backing
it up once (also did one retrieve of some system 6 stuff with no
probems).

Try turning off all inits.  If this doesn't work, re-install retro--it
may be a bad copy.
