I hope Retro will be able to tell a CLIENT to do something (like run a batch file). That would be REALLY helpful if I could turn off virus software to speed the client up... ... or tell a client to exit Outlook 2000 (since the other versions will back up cleanly)... That would be good,

That's a good request, Matthew. Thanks. One thing to note: it's OK if the backup is interrupted. The next time the notebook shows up on the network, Retrospect only copies what it doesn't already have. If the user wants to see if the backup is still happening (not how much is left -- sorry),

Could someone techy from Dantz weigh in on this? Wow -- where to begin? 1. Retrospect only copies unique files to the backup set, which does reduce the amount of data copied to the backup set without reducing safety. Typically, you can expect to only copy 70-80% of the data on a network,
