New in Retrospect 8.0.594.1 (Mar 23, 2009)

An all-new Mac OS X user interface employs standard Mac OS X interface elements, such as toolbars, scope buttons, search fields, etc.
Support for multiple processors/cores and improved throughput to storage devices results in improved performance across the board.
The Retrospect console and Retrospect engine are separate components, allowing management and control of multiple Retrospect servers from a single interface.
Retrospect Single Server and Multi Server can run multiple, simultaneous activities so that a restore can now be performed without interrupting active backups.
Disk Media Sets allow grouping of multiple direct- and network-attached disk resources into a single backup destination, with complete support for spanning backups across multiple disks. Disk Media Sets replace Removable Disk Backup Sets.
Periodic grooming of Disk Media Sets recovers space on the backup media by removing outdated files. Users can choose how many past backups to save.
New copy operations support staged backups, both disk-to-disk-to-disk (D2D2D) and disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T), with Retrospect’s Smart Incremental and file-level deduplication technologies.
Custom reporting, filtering, and sorting are available in all views (Activities, Sources, Past Backups, Media Sets, etc.); a Dashboard provides at-a-glance status of the Retrospect server.
Wake-on-LAN support for Mac clients gives Retrospect the ability to wake Mac OS X clients from sleep immediately prior to a backup, resulting in improved energy efficiency and reducing costs.
Improved Windows client backup and restore protects system state, registry, and open files on Windows 2000/XP/Vista, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003/2008. (Backup of open files, such as Outlook PST files and active databases with Retrospect Single Server and Multi Server requires the Windows Open File Backup add-on.)
Retrospect 8.0 supports more storage devices than previous Mac versions and now includes faster media slot scanning and automated cleaning tape support for tape libraries.
Built-in email notification, improved scheduling, and support for multiple network interfaces are some of the many additional new and improved features in Retrospect 8.0.
Retrospect 8.0 also introduces several important terminology.
Media Sets are backup destinations made up of one or more pieces of media (disk, optical, etc.).
Favorite Folders are user-defined folders that serve as backup sources and restore destinations.
Rules are used to filter files/folders/volumes for backup, copy, and restore operations. An example would be a rule that ignores files inside any folder named “Cache”. Rules can be created and modified in the Preferences window (Retrospect menu > Preferences...). The interface for creating rules is far improved over Retrospect 6.1.
Copy operations move files/folders from one location to another, retaining their format and folder structure. A copy script would be used to make a bootable clone of a Mac OS X startup disk.
Proactive Backup (formerly Backup Server) is Retrospect’s dynamically self-adjusting backup management system that automatically re-prioritizes sources based on their need for a backup and Media Set usage based on availability. Proactive Backup scripts are typically used to back up laptops that come and go from the network or to manage desktop/laptop backups where there are too many sources to protect within timeframe available.
Tags allow sources to be grouped by user-defined classifications, such as “Critical Systems,” “Accounting,” “3rd Floor,” and “Laptops.”

New in Retrospect 8.0 Beta 5 (Mar 7, 2009)

New in Retrospect 8.0 Beta 4 (Feb 20, 2009)

New in Retrospect 8.0 Beta 3 (Feb 5, 2009)

Proactive backup schedules are now functional and scheduling has been improved in general.
Tags have been implemented. In addition to user-definable tags for each source, we’ve added three Smart Tags: All Clients, All Local, and All Shares. Tags are now valid source criteria in the Scripts view’s Sources tab.
Scripts can now be renamed. Yes, finally!
We’ve made the Backup/Copy/Restore Assistant buttons more visible, since some of the people in our usability testing had trouble finding them. We hope you like blue.
Status indicator icons have been improved.
New scripts and Media Sets are now selected immediately after being created.
Optical device support is disabled in this build. We did this because Retrospect 8.0 was locking out all other applications from being able to use the optical drive. To use a Mac’s built-in optical drive, you will need to edit the following file with a text editor...
/Library/Application Support/Retrospect/RetrospectEngine.bundle/Contents/MacOS/retro.ini
...and change the DisableOpticalDrivers setting from 1 to 0. Save the retro.ini file and use the Retrospect System Preferences pane to stop and restart the Retrospect server/engine.
The Default reports have been added to the “Dashboard” view, which is viewed by clicking on the Retrospect server machine name in the sidebar. The Reports folder has been moved to the last sidebar entry and now defaults to closed. Some reports have also been renamed for space considerations. Removing reports is still not working.
Based on beta tester feedback, the scope button behavior has been changed to match functionality in Leopard. Scope buttons are now exclusive, meaning that only one can be selected at a time. “All” buttons have been added to each view and are the default. You may notice some strange deselecting of scope buttons when moving between views. If you notice an unexpected empty view, verify that the All scope button is selected.
Encryption functionality has been improved. Please try out some AES-encrypted backups.
We’ve also made a large number of general usability improvements and bug fixes (including catching the memory leak present in Beta 2).
