Dantz Launches Retrospect 6.0, the New Benchmark for Macintosh Backups; Now Protects Mac OS X ``Panther'' and Xserve RAID, Breaks Terabyte Limit WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2004--Dantz(R) Development Corp. today announced Retrospect(R) 6.0, the latest version of the number one backup and restore software for the Macintosh(R). Retrospect 6.0 now protects Power Mac G4 and G5 computers running Mac OS X "Panther," backs up Xserve RAIDs hosting multiple terabytes of data, and supports SCSI and Fibre Channel tape libraries. "Retrospect 6.0 is the culmination of nearly two decades of industry-leading innovation and refinement based on the real-world needs of our customers," said Tony Barbagallo, VP of Worldwide Marketing at Dantz Development Corp. "With this release, Dantz continues our proud history of protecting the creative intellectual property of Macintosh users." "Dantz was one of the first backup and restore software vendors to support Mac OS X and we are pleased about the release of Retrospect 6.0," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "Retrospect 6.0 delivers a reliable and easy to use solution for Mac users who take advantage of the massive storage density and incredible performance of Xserve RAID." Business professionals and home users will benefit from the advanced features of Retrospect 6.0: -- No limit to the size of volumes that can be backed up or the amount of data stored in a Backup Set. There is no longer a terabyte limit. -- Support for most SCSI and Fibre Channel tape libraries with features such as import/export, barcode inventory, and more than 128 slots. -- Improved user interface to manage drives, tapes, and cleaning tapes. -- Backups to disks can span multiple FireWire or USB hard drives. -- The Retrospect 6.0 product CD also includes Retrospect 5.1 for backing up to a Mac OS 9 computer. Retrospect is distinguished by its ease of use and its ability to automatically adjust backup operations when protecting networked computers, saving valuable time for backup administrators. Unlike other backup software, Retrospect can perform incremental backups to save time while avoiding flawed restores that incorrectly return previously deleted, renamed and moved files and folders. And Retrospect significantly simplifies the creation and rotation of onsite and offsite sets of backup media to protect against disasters. Availability and Pricing Retrospect 6.0 will be available in English as an electronic download on January 26, 2004. The boxed product will be in the channel and in Apple stores by mid-February.
