Software Only releases Retrospect 8.2 for Mac
- Faster Performance, Streamlined Workflow, Retrospect 6 Archive Support
- Protects data for Mac, Windows and Linux servers, desktops and notebooks
- Distributed in Australia by Software Only – www.software-only.com.au
Software Only today launched Roxio Retrospect® 8.2 for Mac, a key update to the backup and recovery software that allows small and midsize businesses to efficiently protect critical data stored on Mac, Win¬dows, and Linux servers, desktops and notebooks.
Retrospect 8.2 is the first release since Roxio took over the product line in May, and is distributed in Australia by Software Only. It delivers up to three times faster network backup performance, adds 64-bit addressing to enable the backup of volumes containing tens of millions of files, and includes user interface enhancements that simplify workflow and management tasks.
A major enhancement in Retrospect 8.2 is the ability to restore from backups created with Retrospect 6. This addresses a key request from users who wanted the ability to perform restores using Retrospect 8 from older archives created in Retrospect 6.
Software Only director Andrew Paton said Retrospect 8.2 was a significant product update that delivered important user benefits.
“Retrospect 8.2 provides users of previous versions with a very clear and straightforward upgrade path to the vastly superior architecture and performance of version 8,” he said.
“With more than two decades of proven performance, millions of users worldwide and a price that’s a fraction of other solutions, Retrospect 8.2 is ideal for individuals and businesses looking to quickly and efficiently protect critical data.”
First introduced in 2009, Retrospect version 8 was redesigned from the ground up with a state-of-the-art interface, a powerful core engine, and a range of new features and enhancements.
Positioned between Apple’s Time Machine and enterprise-level backup applications, key capabilities of the Retrospect 8 product line include:
- The ability to perform multiple, simultaneous backup, restore and copy operations
- Backup-to-disc features that include support for local and network disk systems
- True disk-based backup staging for future transfer to tape or portable media
- Simultaneous streaming of data to multiple disc or tape storage systems
- Advanced custom reporting and email notifications
- Certified AES-256 encryption of backup data
- Advanced network clients with support for multiple network interfaces and a wake-on-LAN feature to wake sleeping computers for backup
