FEATURES

Proven Technology Fast, automated backups and easy administration have made Retrospect the software trusted to protect critical data on millions of computers worldwide. More than a decade of real-world experience, patented technology, and numerous awards combine to make Retrospect the premier choice for small and midsize businesses.

Complete Protection Retrospect Small Business Server protects the local Microsoft Small Business Server, desktops, notebooks, and hundreds of business-critical applications that are up and running 24x7, including advanced support for SQL Server and Exchange Server. Retrospect backs up all business-critical data, operating system files and settings, device drivers, as well as applications, their settings, and files that are open and in use. Retrospect can maximize performance by simultaneously utilizing multiple backup devices, such as hard disks or tape drives. Whether you need to recover a file or folder, or perform a bare metal restore, Retrospect has you covered. *

Fast Backups with 100% Accurate Restores Retrospect's patented Progressive Backup saves time because it backs up only new and changed files after the first full backup. Retrospect performs 100% accurate restores without bringing back unwanted files and folders that were previously deleted, renamed, or moved. Other backup software avoids flawed restores only by repeatedly performing full backups, which wastes time and consumes precious backup media space.

Easy Administration Proactive Backup, another patented technology, keeps backup operations running smoothly with minimal effort, saving valuable time for the backup administrator.* The adaptive scheduler monitors backup operations and ensures that all computers are backed up, even if there is not enough time in a scheduled backup session. It recognizes missed computers or files, and it reschedules them to be backed up as soon as possible. Notebook computers are automatically recognized and prioritized for backup when they connect to the network. Retrospect does not require daily manual modification of backup scripts, and it eliminates the complex manual processes typically required to implement an onsite/offsite tape rotation strategy. Detailed backup reports can be viewed with any Web browser, and Retrospect-based backup servers can be controlled remotely.
