Anyone move from Retrospect on 9.* to 10.* (server or not)

Better?

In our experience, no.

With Retrospect 5, we experience many asserts on a somewhat random basis. Rebuilding catalogs from scratch seemed to help, even though it took a couple days (>18 DLT8000 tapes worth).

A quick look to the Dantz support discussion board will show you the large quantity of problems v.5, especially on Mac OS X, with its far more particular SCSI support. Weird too, because the betas didn't exhibit these behaviors.

If we could move back to 4.3 on OS9 and still reliably back up our OS X servers, we just might.

If you are using old catalog files from v.4 or the v.5 Preview or Public Beta, you might want to try the rebuilding catalogs from scratch trick. There's more discussion going on on the Retrospect mailing lists. Head on over to Dantz-land and check it out.
