Retrospect

EMC® Retrospect® backup and recovery software is designed to deliver automated and reliable protection for the small and medium business (SMB) and the distributed enterprise.

Businesses choose to protect their data assets with Retrospect for its ease of use, fast backups, smart restores, and simplified media management.

Protect servers, desktops, and notebooks
Retrospect for Macintosh runs on a Macintosh backup computer and protects networked servers, desktops, and notebooks running the latest Macintosh operating systems including Mac OS X Tiger, as well as desktops and notebooks running Windows and Red Hat Linux.

Easy to manage, self-adjusting

The EasyScriptTM wizard, intuitive graphical user interface, and automatic backup device recognition make it easy to set up backups that run automatically on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, and during a specific time frame. Retrospect’s self-adjusting operations further ensure computers are never starved for protection. Servers, desktops, and notebooks are recognized when they connect to the network and re-prioritized if they were unavailable or could not be backed up within a previous time period. Backups can also be set on a fixed schedule. To prevent waste of media and time, filters allow administrators to exclude a variety of information during backups, including music and movies.

Backup to disk, tape, or CD/DVD — simplify media management

Retrospect provides the flexibility to leverage disk, tape, or CD/DVD devices to optimize backup and recovery performance, cost efficiency, and restore capabilities. To guard against media failure or disaster, Retrospect makes it easy to create and manage multiple sets of backup data. Retrospect also uses a quick incremental backup to update tapes brought onsite, avoiding the need for new full backups and simplifying media rotation policies.

Fast, reliable, secure backups

Retrospect’s patented Progressive Backup technology accelerates backups and reduces storage costs by copying only new or changed data since the previous backup. Retrospect recognizes identical files that reside on multiple desktops and laptops and backs up just one copy. Data compression further minimizes backup storage consumption. Retrospect verifies all backup content, not just file name and size, to avoid costly surprises. To protect against unauthorized access, Retrospect provides fast SimpleCryptTM or strong DES data encryption on the backup media.
