Retrospect Desktop 6. The Workgroup and Server editions add features to handle large networks and computers running OS X Server; the Express edition, bundled free with numerous hard drives and optical drives, omits network backups and tape drive support. For the average home or small business user, though, Retrospect can be intimidating.
In an attempt to bypass most of its complexity, Retrospect offers a feature called the EasyScript Wizard, which builds a basic backup system by walking you through a series of questions. You can customize the plan it creates relatively easily. But if you want to color outside the lines even further, you must dig into the page manual; the learning curve is steep. Rewriteable discs are, of course, also recordable. Files are backed up to the disks and the Catalog File is usually saved on the hard disk of the computer doing the backup.
Hardware provides more detailed information on removable disk drives and hard disk drives. Retrospect provides a number of features designed specifically for the advantages of disk backup. A file Backup Set combines the Catalog File and backed-up files into a single file stored on a volume. This volume can be any disk drive other than a floppy disk, such as a hard disk, file server or shared disk, or removable disk, that you can access from the Windows Explorer and map to a drive letter.
Unlike other types of Backup Sets, file Backup Sets cannot span media. Once the maximum file size is reached, the Backup Set cannot be appended. Storage Groups protect your entire backup environment up to 16x faster with a single, centralized disk or cloud destination that Retrospect can use simultaneously. With Storage Groups, you can run parallel backups to the same disk destination with a single ProactiveAI script.
Scheduled scripts support Storage Groups as destinations, but the backups run on a single execution and not in parallel. Storage Groups support the same workflows that you are accustomed to for backup, restore, transfer, grooming, and catalog rebuild, while providing far better performance and simplicity. You can treat the Storage Group like a Backup Set that allows simultaneous writes to it. When creating a backup set, you will see "Create as Storage Group" as an option for disk sets and cloud sets.
You can create one and use it as a destination for ProactiveAI scripts. If you select multiple sources for the script, they will run backups in parallel to the storage group. The standard Retrospect Backup workflows for backups, restores, transfers, grooming, and rebuilds are the same for Storage Groups.
You must access the volume's set to see those. Conversely, those sets will not show "Options" or "Members" as those properties are part of the Storage Group. For backup, a Storage Group can be treated like a backup set.
For restore in Retrospect for Windows, a Storage Group is presented as a folder of backup sets. To restore from a specific source, you need to select the specific source within the Storage Group. For transfer in Retrospect for Windows, a Storage Group is presented as a folder of backup sets. You can select either the top-level Storage Group, a backup set to transfer, or a snapshot. The user interface is the same.
For verify in Retrospect for Mac, a Storage Group can be treated like a media set. For verify in Retrospect for Windows, a Storage Group is presented as a folder of backup sets. You can select a backup set. Under the hood, a Storage Group is a container for per-volume backup sets. This architecture is why Retrospect allows you to keep the same workflows that you are accustomed to for backup, restore, transfer, grooming, and catalog rebuild, while providing far better performance and simplicity.
The architecture for Storage Groups allows simultaneous operations to the same destination because each volume is a different backup set under the hood. However, this workflow also prevents data deduplication across volumes. The main purpose of performing a backup is to copy files into a Backup Set. You can instruct Retrospect to perform four different types of backup actions.
A Normal backup adds every file not already in the Backup Set. A New Member backup skips to a new member in the current Backup Set and does a Normal backup to this member. A Recycle backup erases a Backup Set and then adds every file not already in the Backup Set—in effect, all files. Study these strategies to learn how to maximize backup safety and effectiveness by alternating between Backup Sets and rotating media off site.
A Normal backup, as its name suggests, is the action to use in most situations. It is a Progressive Backup, which saves media space by avoiding redundant files in a Backup Set.
A Normal backup copies only files which are new or newly modified. When a Normal backup is done to a new Backup Set, there are no files in the Backup Set, so everything selected from the source is backed up. The backup administrator creates a new Backup Set and does a Normal backup to it with a new or erased medium in the backup device. Because no files exist in the new, empty Backup Set, Retrospect copies all the selected files to it.
The next day the administrator does another Normal backup to the Backup Set. Only these new and changed files are added to the medium previously used with this Backup Set or a new medium if the other fills to capacity.
Retrospect first looks for a member with the correct name and uses that member if it can find it. If Retrospect cannot find the named member, it automatically adds any available new or erased media of the correct type as a new member. Certified Clouds. Microsoft Azure. Google Cloud.
