Fast, reliable,
secure backups
Retrospect's patented Progressive Backup technology
accelerates backups and reduces storage costs by
copying only new or changed data since the previous
backup. Retrospect recognizes identical files that
reside on multiple desktops and laptops and backs
up only one copy. Data ompression further minimizes
backup storage consumption. Retrospect verifies
all backup content, not just file name and size,
to avoid costly suprises. to protect against unauthorized
access, Retrospect provides fast SimpleCrypt™
or strong DES data encryption on the backup media.
Smart Restores™
Retrospect's atented technology enables fast, reliable
restores of individual files, directories, and entire
file systems with unparalleled accuracy. Retrospect
compiles a complete list of the files and folders
prior to each client backup. Retrospect references
the appropriate list and restores only the exact
data necessary to return the computer to a particular
point in time. Other software applications restore
an entire full backup and overlay subsequent incremental
backups, resulting in lengthy recovery times and
unwanted files that were previously deleted, renamed,
or moved. With retrospect, you recover only data
that's needed, eliminating confusion and potential
mistakes.
Backup to disk, tape, or CD/DVD
- simplify media management
Retrospect provides the flexibility to leverage
disk, tape, or CD/DVD devices to optimizebackup
and recovery performance, cost effeciency, and restore
capabilities. To guard against media failure or
disaster, Retrospect makes it easy to create and
manage multiple sets of backup data. Retrospect
also uses a quicj incremental backup to update tapes
brought online, avoiding the need for new full backups
ad simplifying media rotation policies.
Bare metal restore
Retrospect delivers fast, efficient bare metal restore
capabilities for your Macintosh computers. During
the course of performing backups, Retrospect gathers
all necessary information to completely restore
a computer, even if it has become unresponsive.
Use the Retrospect product CD to start the computer
and activate Retrospect. Ten restore the operating
system, applications, application settings, data,
and user preferences. Retrospect saves countless
hours of software installation, system configuration,
and downtime costs. Whether you need to recover
a file or a folder, take a computer back to a prior
point in time, or restore a computer that has failed
completely, Retrospect has you covered.
