Right. But, like the OP, I'm talking in terms of restoring the OS via CCC
and then restoring the data drives via Retrospect.

Wouldn't it seem simpler (and faster) just to restore any failed drives directly from the psync'ed copy?

Right now I'm looking into a multi-step process where I psync to a drive on
a remote computer and then use Retrospect to dump that to tape, which I'm
hoping will give me the best of both worlds backup-wise. We'll see how that
sorts out....

I've had great experience with this. Works as expected. Remember that when psync'ing remotely that the file attributes are stored in a separate file using the "-r" qualifier. This means you wouldn't want to just restore from retrospect directly the files in the psync'd filepath but use this instead.
