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,
If I do a full backup of any ntfs parition with retro server 5 will the
security/permissions of all files backed up be saved and restored if needed?
I'm fairly confident it will, I guess I just need confirmation and
assurance of the process from someone with experience of the process.

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),
Here's the stress then.. I need a copy of retrospect for each machine then

Dantz Website / Update?
I did not receive an announcement of this update. I heard about
it from TidBits.
Did Dantz make an announcement to users?
Dantz sent an email to all registered Retrospect for Mac customers. So, if

This really does work...honest. Before I would conjecture on what's

Like:

failed with error "blah blah blah")?
3) did you save

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,

I use the same basic setup. Its easier to restore only the docs and

Keep in mind how Retrospect works (based on Eric's ASCIIart).
