Retrospect updated for Leopard

Now, retrospect has something of a learning curve - I'll grant you that. But, in the grand scheme of things - it's really not a bad product. I administer an Xserve running as a backup server for a 100+ userbase, and it has proven itself to be a solid, reliable application for my purposes. Is it perfect? By no stretch of thee imagination - but it receives far too much snark considering how reliable it is in an environment such as this one.

Tag link on product name: Sorry, we are trying to get out of that habit and clearly indicate when links are to the product site vs. to our past coverage.

Peter: Synk Pro is a great product, but does it backup to tape drives? Tape libraries? WORM drives? Support Windows and Linux clients along with the Mac? Do patented synthetic-full backups?

It's not in the same product class as Retrospect, sad to say. I have a folderful of complaints and concerns about what EMC (and Dantz before) has done/not done for the product, but it's still worth a look.

Let me be clear...

HAHAHAHA

The idea of Retrospect being updated to Leopard is about as interesting as [fill in the witty insult here.] This program caused so many problems for me, that I will never forget the joy of finding Synk Professional, a far better program. As if Time Machine weren't good enough, that is. This app is shite and the programmers and suits that make it should all look for better jobs.

#3 - I agree - I'm fed up of clicking the name of a product in TUAW's posts and being taken back to a tag page on TUAW...

I can confirm 6.1.138 is not a universal binary. This is really killing Retrospect, as it is as a result limited to using just 2GB of RAM. When Retrospect runs out of RAM the performance falls through the floor.

Running it in Rosetta emulation would just make things worse.

Installed and ran fine last night. Just a single machine, multiple volume backup in addition to Time Machine, but just fine. Thanks EMC/Insignia/Dantz...

Maybe it was edited, but at least now one of the links does go to the product page. Thanks TUAW!

What could you possibly like about Retrospect? The confusing and inconsistent interface? I was just saying the other day how much I hate it, though we use it religiously for offsite and client backups.

OFF TOPIC:
I thought you had said that you'd stop linking pages to TUAW itself, and instead link directly to the external page.
