Retrospect 8 backup and recovery software for Windows provides medical offices, law firms, banks, auto repair shops, restaurants, departments in large corporations, universities, government offices and so many others with the peace of mind knowing that their digital assets are safe.
Retrospect Overview
Retrospect is Easy and Automatic • Builds a complete and reliable backup strategy in minutes • Auto-detects new, or previously off-line computers and prioritizes their backup • Saves time and drive space with incremental backups and file-level deduplication • Maximizes disk space by automatically grooming outdated files from the backup disk • Offers added protection from viruses and corruption with “Live Restores,” which quickly returns a running computer to a previous state
Retrospect is Powerful and Flexible • Works flawlessly in a mixed Windows/Mac environment without adding cost • Protects virtual environments • Supports multiple backup media types including disk, NAS, WebDAV cloud storage, tape drives, libraries, and flash • Performs versatile backups and restores with up to 16 simultaneous executable operations • Delivers perfect point-in-time restores every time, from individual files to entire volumes
Retrospect is Reliable and Secure • Protects backups and ensures secure data transmission with multiple levels of U.S. Government-certified encryption • Verifies that data is fully backed up and fully restorable • Maintains multiple, independent Backup Sets for added reliability • Safeguards open files, working databases and other running applications, making them available for restore up to the moment that they were backed up
New and Improved Features in Retrospect 8 for Windows
Support for Cloud Storage WebDAV support allows Retrospect to back up from or to offsite cloud storage. Powerful filtering rules can be employed to allow complete local backups, while ensuring only critical data needs to be copied to the cloud.
Instant Scan Speeds Backups Retrospect Clients already know what files have been added or changed before the backup server even connects, cutting average nightly backup times in half. The same technology is also used on the backup server.
Administrator Feature Control The backup administrator can control access to end-user features like marking private files, running an on-demand restore, or stopping a backup that’s in progress.
Restore to Dissimilar Hardware (add-on) The Dissimilar Hardware Recovery add-on allows Retrospect to perform a complete restore—including the operating system—to entirely different hardware. Windows Notification Area Support The new Retrospect Client software uses the Notification Area to alert end users when backups are starting or have finished.
Support for Mountain Lion Retrospect supports Mac OS X “Mountain Lion” on Mac client systems and takes full advantage of 64-bit resources.
Automatic Disk Grooming Tell Retrospect how many backups to keep, and it will automatically remove older backups when it needs more space on disk-based storage. This technology allows Retrospect to perform faster, smaller Smart Incremental backups forever.
Bare Metal Disaster Recovery Boot media can be created for nearly every Windows and Mac system protected by Retrospect to provide fast recovery from a non-bootable state.
Control and Monitor Retrospect from iOS Use the free Retrospect iOS app on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to keep tabs on backups over Wi-Fi or 3/4G.
Back Up and Restore On Demand New Retrospect Client software allows each user to quickly backup important files or folders and even run their own restores right from the Desktop. Now supports Windows and Mac clients.
Network Link Encryption Retrospect will optionally encrypt communications between network clients and the backup server using strong AES-256 encryption to prevent network snooping of private information. Now supports strong encryption for Windows and Mac clients.
