The correct price should be $119...$29 is merely for the "Workstation Clients 1-Pack " Add-On :-(

Tried to run the client installer (to update older client) on 4 different machines: error the installation could not complete. Tried to uninstall first, then reinstall, same thing. But after, in every case, it appears that it was updated, not sure why the error.

I use this everyday. I have 2 networks of users backing up. They backup logged in OR logged out. I like the Proactive backup and on the server side I like the ability to backup to many small files. Their support is very good. While there are problems with any software they have been excellent to work with. Keep up the good work guys.

6.3.029 Sonic branded client is available here: http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/retrospect/software_updates.html According to Retrospect on Twitter, major work is underway. A screen shot of the new client (albeit a Windows image) is offered.

After over a decade of using Retrospect -- I cannot ever recommend Retrospect to anyone, for any purpose: - Retrospect is buggy and bloated, often freezes client machines - Retrospect is expensive, and upgrades are outrageous - Many legacy backup devices no longer supported The ugly truth is that often times, Retrospect will FAIL TO SUCCESSFULLY RESTORE a file. That is the true test of any backup/archive solution. Unless a sysadmin can KNOW that a solution is reliable -- it is dangerous to ever trust it. When it really counts -- Retrospect cannot be trusted. EMC/Dantz I have tried to engage at conventions have been dismissive and unhelpful in solutions for recovery failures. Although we have spent many hundreds of dollars on Retrospect, we've ditched it entirely, and moved on to a much better solution -- ChronoSync.
