Version: EMC Retrospect 7.5 Professional 7.5.251
"Non existant support. A decaying product. Poor Vista DVD supportAvoid"
Pros: Logical setup and administration. Good scheduling and maintenance options.
Cons: No response from either European or US support, I purcahsed an upgrade from an OEM 6 version to 7.5 professional and lost the ability to use the proactive backup feature, the new version does not see my old or new DVD. It no longer creates bootable rescue CD/DVD's Word all over the net is that EMC have stopped supporting it and laid off all the staff. Certainly I got the impression that this is the last version left to decay whilst the staff flee.

Version: EMC Retrospect 7.5 Professional 7.5.251
"Cleaner looking, faster crashing than the last version"
Pros: See my comments about 6.5 - unlike many disasters looking for a place to happen, this disaster found its place and crashed right into Retrospect. The windows that lead no where are prettier than they were last time.

Summary: We have used EMC Retrospect for about a year, having switched from Backup Exec to save some money. I have regretted the decision ever since. So far, Retrospect has literally destroyed its backup sets not once, but FOUR times. I have contacted thei... read more
