Retrospect: once great product goes sour May 17, 2007
I've been using retrospect on macs since the mid-nineties. While computers have advanced a great deal since then, retrospect software has not. It is a bloated mess of outdated graphics and inefficient algorithms. I use this software because it is the only thing I've found which will run unattended backups on a mixed network of Mac, Windows, and Linux computers. This is no small feat and I give Dantz/EMC credit for that. They lose the credit, however, because while it's been how many years since OSX has been released, retrospect still doesn't run native. It's just a Carbon version of the system 9 software. This means that you always have to have the finder open on your server to run retrospect and it can't take advantage of any of the features of a unix based OS like OSX. It's also a processor hog; doing a simple backup, slows my dual processor tiger server down to a crawl. Clicking the wrong button while using the clunky interface can mean spending the next fifteen minutes watching the old capstans turn (their version of the spinning beachball). There's gotta be a better way.
