RETROSPECT (Boats) Mac OS
My last post showed how to do grooming in Retrospect 8. There were a ton of questions about what exactly grooming is. Think about it this way, Retrospect backup scripts use snapshots. If you do a backup without a recycle 20 times, then you have 20 snapshots. If you changed a 1 gig file every Continue reading More on Retrospect 8 Utility Scripts. Introducing Mac OS X in 2000, Steve Jobs criticized the original Finder, saying that it 'generates a ton of windows, and you get to be the janitor.' Ars Technica columnist John Siracusa has been a long-standing defender of the spatial interface of the classic Mac OS Finder and a critic of the new design.
The most obvious difference between 4.x and 5.x, assuming you're running the Server in Mac OS X, is the Aqua interface!Retrospect (boats) Mac Os X
If you're running the Server in Mac OS 9, the interface is virtually indistinguishable from 4.x, apart from a trippy pseudo-OS X background image...
Most of the funtionality updates/changes are under the hood. Below are just a few of the more notable updates - click here for a complete list.
- Retrospect Server will back up more than one Macintosh server operating system (Mac OS X Server or AppleShare IP Server).
- You can now add clients by direct IP address or subnet broadcast.
- Supports UNIX ownership and permissions and UNIX-specific data. When booted into OS X for local backups, or when backing up a client that is booted into OS X, all permissions will be correctly backed up. This also includes recognizing symbolic links and physical links, full character set for file names, and preservation of all permissions and privileges.
- Introduces 'Live Restore' for Mac OS X systems. Install a base Mac OS X system, install Retrospect and then perform your restore. Your base operating system must be the same exact version that you will try to restore.
- Scripts can automatically launch Retrospect when no user is logged in to a Mac OS X machine.
- Files larger than 2 gigabytes in size may now be backed up.
- Files and folders with long names (longer than 31 characters) are now backed up.
- Supports new backup devices, including DVD-R, DVD-RW, and Apple's SuperDrive.
A complex and secure data protection and backup solution for the macOS designed to help you keep your information safe yet easily accessible
What's new in Retrospect 17.5.2.103:
- Engine:
- Fixed: Cloud Backup: Fixed rare crash for cloud uploads (#9082)
Backing up your data in multiple locations is highly advisable: this way you can make sure that your information will not be completely lost in case of a hazard. Retrospect is offering a comprehensive solution for dealing with this task.
Complex and automatic data backup system
Note that the Retrospect app is only a part of a 3 elements system: firstly, the Retrospect engine is dealing with the backup process (is included in the Retrospect server), the Retrospect app allows the user to interact with the software functions, while the Retrospect client must be installed on all computers that need to be backed up.
To get started, you must set up the Retrospect server on the computer connected to all the backup storage devices. The Retrospect app can connect to your local server or can use a remote server.
The next step is to set up backup sources and set up various activities. Retrospect provides support for multiple scripts which are organized by purpose: backup (backup, copy, archive or proactive backup), restore, and utility (copy media set, copy backup, verify and groom).
Intuitive management tools
Note that Retrospect comes with various smart folders that will help you monitor and analyze the app’s functions: recent activities, 24hr schedule, no backup in 7 days, never backed up, errors &warnings, or active / inactive scripts.
Most importantly, you can tell Retrospect how many backups to keep, so you will not waste storage space by holding on to older backups. At the same time, the app will minimize the backup size by copying only unique files and performing automatic file deduplication.
Comprehensive backup solution with support for multiple operating systems
Retrospect (boats) Mac Os Catalina
The Retrospect application can run on multiple operating systems (Mac, Window, Linux and iOS), which means that you get to backup data stored on all types of devices, through the same setup.
All in all, if you are looking for a complete backup solution that can deal with numerous storage devices and source files and folder, while automatically performing various actions, Retrospect certainly deserves your attention.
