Before looking ahead to what's coming, it's important first to look back. And that means a quick refresher course on Retrospect, a mainstay of the Apple community since Mac OS 7 was hosting e-mail, files and FileMaker databases. The venerable app had solid features and drivers for a fairly large subset of tape libraries. Unfortunately, it peaked in the late 1990s around Version 4.3, long before the introduction of Mac OS X in 2001. Since then, it's been in a steady decline.
It's the number one question on everyone's mind...
"I have a great new Xserve and Xserve RAID or Promise RAID, but how am I going to get all of this important data off-site, so I can rest easier at night?"
"What am I going to do if a disaster hits?"
"The word that comes to mind, when I try to describe my disaster recovery plan is simply disaster!"
Have no fear! We have a round up of the best backup solutions for Mac OS X that you may have never heard of! Best of all, they're all cross platform, so everyone's invited to play.
