Just to be clear, the Retrospect Client software will still support PowerPCs and even Macs running Mac OS 9, but the new UI and engine are Intel-only at this point in time. We think we have PPC support pretty well figured out, but it may be that we roll out PPC support shortly after. This morning I'm a lot more receptive to the idea of Retrospect Mac Clients 'going bad' in a one-shot occurrence than I was 24 hours ago. The OP in this thread describes my experiences starting last summer getting -559 (network connection timeout) errors up to 2 hours into the 3-hour Saturday-morning Recycle backup of my MacBook Pro. Retrospect Server Backup, a new version developed for large networks.The package includes 100 cross-platform client licenses and support for multiple AppleShare IP and Mac OS X Server systems. Our solution is to enable UI Scripting on the Macs we run the Retrospect server and use a AppleScript to detect the UI components in the tape request window. If the components are present, then it knows the tape request window is active. If the components are not present, it.

Retrospect
I originally posted this at http://www.318.com/TechJournalRetrospect is the most historically respected backup package for Macs. After a lot of issues with the switch to OS X, Version 6 is a stable rendition of what Version 4.3 was for OS 9. The tried and true Retrospect interface is still used (just a little more soft around the edges). Retrospect 6 Server edition is capable of backing up server and client computers over the network and has increased backup performance dramatically. Tape loaders and libraries support has increased and barcode labeling of tapes is now supported. Retrospect 6 has also improved in the area of removable disc support, namely with CD and DVD burners.The functionality of Retrospect hasn’t increased drastically over previous versions. The core features are still the ability to backup, duplicate and restore immediately or on timed schedules. Backup servers, processes that scan for network clients who are not always present, have become a little more functional and stable. Reporting features remain consistent with previous versions, but now they are stable.Tolis Group is respected in the Unix and Linux communities. When Tolis Group released BRU Server for OS X the Mac community was finally given something to compare with Retrospect.Installing BRU is a little more complicated than Retrospect. With both Retrospect and BRU, just run the installer and restart. Then, install the Retrospect or BRU client on all systems to be backed up. For Retrospect installations, you are now complete. For BRU Server, if you want to use BRU Server to backup the system it’s installed on, then you will have to install the BRU client on both the server and the client.Unlike Retrospect, BRU can be administered through the BRU Console from any system on the network using the proper credentials. BRU Server also maintains more comprehensive logging than Retrospect. BRU Server also allows for more flexibility with defining exactly what gets backed up on each disk by not using the archaic sub-volume method employed by Retrospect.A key aspect of BRU is the ability to intelligently restore client system resources as quickly as possible. For Example, Disk Staging is the ability to use a disk drive as a temporary backup device until you feel there’s a time slot available for performing a much slower backup to tape. Another feature is that BRU does not need to verify backups using the file system. This allows verification to run 50% faster than Retrospect.Retrospect still is a full-scale, very complete backup solution for the Mac. BRU Server is not easy to use, but the tradeoff to mastering it includes features like disk staging, verbose logging and a reduced client-side resource burden. BRU Server is a more complete backup solution for larger environments.

Retrospect Compatibility with Mac OS X Lion

Legacy

Retrospect (boats) Mac Os Update

Retrospect 8.2 for Mac: Compatible

Retrospect 8.2 runs on, backs up, and restores computers running Mac OS X Lion and Lion Server. Yokai mac os. Backing up Lion systems as network clients requires Retrospect Client 6.3.

Users should be aware of the following issues related to protecting Mac OS X Lion:

  • FileVault's whole disk encryption feature is supported by Retrospect.

  • Retrospect isn't able to restore the document snapshots created by Lion's 'Versions' feature. Only the latest iteration of each file that was present during a backup can be restored using Retrospect.

  • The Mac OS X Lion installer creates a hidden 640 MB 'Recovery HD' partition that can boot the computer and provide access to tools like the Terminal and Disk Utility, should the need arise. Asteroids terra for saturn mac os. If Retrospect is used to perform a complete recovery of a Lion startup volume to a blank disk or one that has been repartitioned with Disk Utility, the Recovery HD partition won't be created. Running the Lion installer on the disk before performing the restore will ensure that the Recovery HD partition is properly created and provisioned.

  • Retrospect client computers running Mac OS X Lion cannot be backed up after a user has logged out and left the Mac at the login screen; the Mac must be restarted or a user must log in before Retrospect can access that Mac again. This issue also affects Macs running Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Retrospect 7.7 for Windows with 6.3 Client for Mac: Compatible

Retrospect 7.7 for Windows backs up and restores networked computers running Mac OS X Lion and Lion Server with version 6.3 of the Retrospect Client software for Mac. The same issues listed above apply when Mac OS X Lion systems are backed up to a Retrospect 7.7 server.
