Introduction
Retrospect 8 by AJ Boldan, Department of Pathology, University of Utah
The venerable backup tool, now in its third decade and published by EMC Insignia (original developer Dantz was acquired a few years back) has been revitalized in version 8, now shipping, with scores of features that bring it to reasonable parity with the Windows version of the applicaiton. Simultaneous execution is supported now, along with advanced disk-to-disk backups, faster catalog rebuilds, single-write/multi-read operation, improved networking and tape drive support, and media & catalog cross-platform compatibility with the Windows version.
This presentation gave an overview of Retrospect 8 new features and experience using it at the Department of Pathology.
AJ Bolden is the IT Manager for the U of U Hospital's Department of Pathology.
