Retrospect client for windows 10 manual#
That’s just one of the things the manual will tell you. Note that with some types of backups, such as those made to tape, the catalog file may be stored on the machine from which the backup was made rather than with the data. Where most backup programs let you “filter” the files that will be backed up (whitelisting, blacklisting) files, Retrospect puts this under “Select.” Instead of Jobs, you have Scripts, etc.Īs it’s likely not what you’re used to, I do recommend reading the well-written and comprehensive help guide before you get down to business. For instance, while Sources is obvious enough, clicking on Destination gives you the option to select a “Backup Set.” That’s the same as a destination, but it can give you pause initially. There’s still the highly-efficient collapsible function tree to the left, wizard-like script (job) creation, and logical but not immediately intuitive workflow, with jargon-heavy nomenclature. In the backup world, however, steady connotes reliabilty, so that’s not a knock in the least. I was a bit surprised, not having looked at Retrospect for over 10 years, that the interface had not changed much, if at all. Though the language is odd, Retrospect is easy to use once you know it and supports multiple destinations. The enterprise is really Retrospect’s bread-and-butter market, but having used the program extensively myself, I can attest that it’s good stuff for the average user as well-once you know it. There are a host of enterprise solutions for servers, as well as a management console and VM (Virtual Machine) support for the IT staff. Subscriptions are available starting from $4 a month. Retrospect 17 is available for a single computer for $49 (Solo), and $119 for five computers (Desktop). Go there for information on competing products and how we tested them. This review is part of our ongoing roundup of the best Windows backup software.
