Hi list
I have seen that Retrospect 8.0 for Mac is now available - anyone
has already had a chance to test it with Mac OS X Server?
Please - I don't want to start another discussion about which is
the best backup program or about Retrospect or not Retrospect in
general. I'd really just like to know what Retrospect 8.0 is like
(compared to 6.1 for Mac and/or 7.6 for Windows, if anyone can give
any information on that).
Thanks, Tina
I ran into some serious, show-stopping issues that revolved around
the engine restarting itself in the middle of backups of clients
which made it unusable (the backup was on the hard drive but not
usable which is incredibly annoying). There are also some UI and
other issues that haven't fully been resolved yet.
I think you can look on Retrospect 8 as advanced beta software, but
it's not really ready for prime time yet. I'd stick with 6.1 for
now.
Mike -
What was the last update you used (approximate date)? They've
issued a number of updates since the initial release that have
addressed a lot of initial bugs.

I was using about the third update, I don't remember exactly at this
point. It's been a little confusing since they have updated the
engine and front end separately.
I think I would advise everyone to wait until 8.1. That's what I
plan to do.
