Fast, automated backups and easy administration have made Retrospect the software trusted to protect critical data on millions of computers worldwide. Dantz has a long history of commitment to the Macintosh market. Patented technology, numerous awards, and more than a decade of real-world experience combine to make Retrospect the best choice for Macintosh users and system administrators worldwide. Retrospect protects file servers, desktops, and notebooks by backing up business-critical data, operating system files and settings, and applications and their settings. Retrospect automatically recognizes and can back up to many brands of tape drives/autoloaders/libraries, hard drives, removable drives, and CD/DVD drives, as well as to FTP servers. Whether you need to recover a file or folder, or perform a bare metal restore, Retrospect has you covered. Retrospect's patented Progressive Backup technology saves time by backing up only new and changed files after the first full backup. Retrospect performs 100% accurate restores without bringing back unwanted files and folders that were previously deleted, renamed, or moved. Other backup software cannot avoid flawed restores except by repeatedly performing full backups, which waste time and consume backup media space. Retrospect also saves time by recognizing identical files on one or more computers and backing up just one copy. Another patented technology, Backup Server, keeps backup operations running smoothly with minimal effort, saving valuable time for the backup administrator. This adaptive scheduler monitors backup operations and ensures that all computers are backed up, even if there is not enough time in one scheduled backup session. Even notebooks are automatically recognized and prioritized for backup when they connect to the network. Retrospect does not require daily manual modification of backup scripts, and it eliminates complex manual processes typically required to implement an onsite/offsite tape rotation strategy. For home and small offices, Retrospect Desktop protects data on one Macintosh desktop or notebook computer and two other networked desktop or notebook computers running Macintosh, Windows, or Linux operating systems.
