Inexpensive, yet powerful backup software for CDR users. Retrospect express!

[editor]

Hello all,

I have been a retrospect user since it was released, Retrospect with AIT tape or any tape drive system is wonderful, but a bit more expensive and tapes do fail on rare occassions. I use it for my entire high end studio network...never a problem.

I bought Retrospect express yesterday for stand alone work stations, not on the network. It allows you to bypass the main problem with CDR backups. It give you the ability to stream files larger than 650 megs across multiple CDR discs. I would suggest Retrospect express as a very powerful, inexpensive back up system for those who already own CD burners, who want falwless backups for a low cost $49.00 for Retrpsoect express; at a decent data rate also, 20 to 35 megs a minute on backup and restore. This compares with dats dat, DDS 1,2 and even DDS3, with an 8* burner.

As lwillliam posted, regarding a review of Jam. Retrospect express is another boring program; it does exactly what it says it will do, without a crash, a problem or an error. Being able to stream 2 gig files or more, spanning across multiple CDR discs is great. A windows and Mac version comes with the package.

for those of you who do not backup; there are two kinds of computer users, those who have experienced a disaster/terrible crash....and those who will. I am using it in the back ground now on this station.

Regards
