![]() ![]() P.S.: It's pretty obvious that the next advance in Mac backup applications is going to be the use of the filesystem snapshotting capability Apple added with APFS. So in my 20th-century view, I think some people still have a need for enterprise client-server backup to local drives, and Retrospect-although its developer is pursuing a "go big or go home" strategy as noted up-thread-is still a good cheap choice for meeting that need. ![]() Until 9 October 2018 I lived in one of those areas, because Verizon wouldn't run FiOS into my Manhattan apartment building from the street outside-and Spectrum cable Internet really slows down when multiple users in the building go online. where-per various Ars front-page articles on the beloved Ajit Pai etc.-access to high-speed Internet uploads isn't really available. And, if the enterprise is thinking of backing up to the cloud using a "push" application, its installation may be located in an area of the U.S. However this thread linked to in the preceding paragraph reveals that the limit for one "backup server" Mac or NAS device is only about 20 "clients", because "push" backup applications do not stagger access to the "backup server" destination disk the way client-server backup applications do. As discussed in another thread, the Desktop Edition of Retrospect licensed for 25 "client" machines would cost someone US$570-or US$775 if one of those machines runs macOS Server (this extra cost may not be necessary if someone is running the latest version of macOS Server ).Ī Mac-oriented enterprise installation could instead run such "push" backup applications as Arq or Time Machine (but no longer CrashPlan Local) on its "client" machines. It's also not Tolis BRU-which I summarized in this up-thread post it's only US$1100 but is really oriented toward backing up large-scale media industry files to tape or rack-mounted disks. That's not Archiware P5, which this Product Configurator reveals is US$4340 including the modules that backup "end-points" and allow duplicating backup archive files. Upgrade Adds Support for VMware Consolidated Backup, Windows 7, and MoreĮMC Corporation, the world’s leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced an upgrade to its Retrospect backup and recovery for small and medium businesses (SMBs).I'm talking to anyone who may need-now or in the future-a relatively-cheap enterprise client-server backup application whose "backup server" software runs on a Mac. #Resetting retrospect client 7.7 password upgrade Available immediately, EMC Retrospect 7.7 adds several new capabilities, including integration with VMware Consolidated Backup, which allows Retrospect to perform off-host backups of active virtual machines. Other new features include complete protection for computers running Microsoft Windows 7, a new Retrospect Emergency Recovery CD for quick disaster recovery of Windows servers and PCs, wake-on-LAN technology for improved energy conservation, and full support for 64-bit processors and operating systems. “Because of the cost-savings realized from systems virtualization, its use in small and medium businesses is on the rise,” said Peter Wharton, vice president of marketing, the Consumer and Small Business Products Division of EMC. ![]() “By integrating with VMware Consolidated Backup, EMC Retrospect is able to provide complete backups of virtualized systems without impacting the performance of those systems. This functionality allows SMBs implementing virtualization to enjoy a similar level of protection seen in the enterprise.”Ĭritical data in small and medium businesses is not always corralled on servers. Instead, such data is normally found distributed across servers, desktops, and laptops. As a result, Retrospect is frequently employed to protect all the computers in an organization. #Resetting retrospect client 7.7 password upgradeĭesigned for this task, EMC Retrospect 7.7 now provides complete backup and recovery of computers running Microsoft Windows 7, and it can also wake Windows and Mac computers that are in standby (sleep) mode, allowing those systems to await backup in a low power usage state and providing significant cost savings over time. ![]()
