EMC Retrospect delivers powerful yet easy-to-use data protection for your servers, 24x7 applications, desktops, and notebooks. It protects your personal information and business from data loss due to user error, computer failure, or site-wide disasters. Retrospect protects millions of computers world-wide and consistently earns top awards and broad industry acclaim for its unique patented technology.

Easy to set up and manage

Robust data protection doesn’t have to be complex. Retrospect’s intuitive wizards get you up and running quickly. Backup operations are automatically adjusted to ensure that all computers are protected without requiring manual intervention. With Retrospect there is no need to write new backup scripts each day to keep backups running smoothly. And user-initiated restores enable end users to perform fast onsite recovery of their data without putting a strain on IT resources.

Avoid weekly full backups

Unlike other backup applications, Retrospect delivers fast incremental backups while still providing accurate restores. Retrospect does this by creating a list of hard drive contents during each backup. Retrospect later uses this list to select the exact data necessary to perform an accurate restore to a prior point in time. With Retrospect you get a perfect restore every time. Other software doesn’t utilize such a list and therefore can only provide an accurate restore to the day a full backup was performed.

Simplifies management of backup media

Traditional backup software requires a complex strategy to protect against failure of backup media or a site-wide disaster. Multiple sets of tapes must be created, tracked, and rotated offsite in a rigid and unforgiving manual process. Retrospect eliminates complex tape rotation strategies. Simply create two sets of tapes. Keep one set onsite for backups and restores. Send the other offsite for safety. Rotating tape sets is easy and fast.

Disk-to-disk-to-tape backups

Retrospect protects more computers in less time when utilizing disk as a backup destination. For offsite protection, create synthetic full sets of tapes by rapidly streaming data from the backup disk, eliminating the need to perform another backup over the network so applications and users remain unaffected. Establish a policy that retains a set number of backups and automatically removes older data to make room for newer backups. You never have to perform a full backup again. Highest level of security for backup media

Retrospect delivers the strongest possible security for your backup media using U.S. government-certified 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption. With AES encryption, unauthorized individuals cannot access information stored on backup media in the event that it is lost or stolen.

Other features include:

  • Bare metal restore
  • Universal binary for Intel and PowerPC based Macs
