EMC Retrospect - Don’t trust it. Don’t buy it.
I am in charge of 4 different installations of EMC Retrospect 7.5 in Windows Domains and Workgroups.
Not a single one of them works as advertised, even after days on days with tech support.
In case you don’t know, Retrospect is backup and disaster recovery software. Guess what it doesn’t do half the time? Backup data.
Really, it’s the Proactive feature that is completely bug ridden. But everything we wanted it for was based on that feature working as advertised.
Anyway, if you need that feature, use a different vendor. Please, please don’t use EMC Retrospect! Your data will NOT be backed up correctly and your clients will have your head on a stick when disaster strikes.
Any alternative recommendations are welcome.
