Retrospect 6.0 for Mac Product Family
Patented technology, numerous awards, and nearly two decades of real-world experience make Retrospect the software trusted to protect critical business data on millions of Apple Macintosh computers worldwide. Dantz has been creating backup software for the Macintosh market since 1985, providing system administrators with powerful, easy-to-use software that delivers fast, automated backups and flawless restores. The Server and Workgroup editions of Dantz Retrospect for Macintosh protect networks of Macintosh, Windows, and Red Hat Linux computers in small and midsize businesses.
 
FEATURES
Easy to use
Retrospect 6.0 makes it easy to implement a backup plan. For simple backup needs, the Desktop Edition is perfect just answer a few questions, and Retrospect creates the required backup scripts and schedules. Or utilize Retrospect's intuitive, userfriendly graphical user interface to create a customized backup strategy. For small networks, Retrospect's adaptive scheduler automatically adjusts backup operations to capture data that was not backed up as a result of time constraints, network problems, or computers that were unavailable. And notebooks are automatically recognized and prioritized for backup when they connect to the network.

Protect your entire network
Retrospect Workgroup and Server Editions provide automated protection for servers containing as much as 1,000 terabytes of data or more, as well as networked desktops and notebooks, which can contain 40to80 percent of a business's critical data. It protects user data, operating system files and settings, as well as applications and their settings. Retrospect's patented technology saves considerable time and media space by backing up just one copy of identical files on a computer or across a network of computers. And the Retrospect product CD provides bootable Mac OS X disaster recovery. Whether you need to recover a file or folder, take a computer back to a prior point in time, or perform a bare metal restore, Retrospect has you covered.

Get Fast Backups and Avoid Flawed Restores
Only Retrospect performs the fastest backups while avoiding flawed restores. Most businesses use incremental or differential backups to save time. Unfortunately, when the hard drive is restored to a day that an incremental or differential backup was performed, the restore is always flawed because it contains entire contents of the full and incremental/differential backups, including unwanted files and folders that were deleted, renamed, or moved between backups. Retrospect avoids flawed restores by a creating a list of all of the files and folders on the hard drives prior to performing the backup. Retrospect later uses the appropriate list to deliver 100% accurate restores to any day that you backed up.

Easiest Onsite/Offsite Tape Rotation
Retrospect makes it easy to implement an offsite/onsite backup strategy. Retrospect stores and tracks data in Backup Sets. With just two Backup Sets, you can easily and quickly implement an onsite/offsite backup strategy by alternately rotating the Backup Sets offsite. In contrast, other backup software requires using piles of tapes in a complex, manual, and errorprone strategysuch as grandfatherfatherson. Retrospect can back up to many brands of tape drives, tape autoloaders, and tape libraries, as well as to FTP servers. Retrospect Backup Sets can even span multiple external FireWire and USB hard drives, CDs, or DVDs, which can be rotated offsite in sets to protect against disasters.
