What's New - Automatic Onboarding
Retrospect Backup 17
IT administrators depend on streamlined workflows to deploy services and support within their organization. With automatic onboarding, administrators can share a single URL with their entire company, and each employee can download the client for their platform, pre-packaged with a public key for authentication. There are no user passwords, and Retrospect Backup will automatically add the new clients and start protecting them using ProactiveAI.
Retrospect Virtual 2020
With Retrospect Virtual 2020, businesses can monitor their physical and virtual backup infrastructure from a single pane of glass via the Retrospect Management Console. Retrospect Virtual 2020 is now integrated with the hosted service to enable one place to monitor every protected machine–Windows, Mac, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V.
What's New - Retrospect Backup 17
10x Faster ProactiveAI
ProactiveAI has been optimized to handle many more sources with different storage profiles. Customers with endpoints that are offline at various times will see a 10x performance increase in how fast Retrospect Backup 17 finds the next available computer.
Restore Preflight
Large-scale data protection—relying on highly-optimized storage configurations like hundreds of tapes or Amazon Glacier— strategies require preflight capabilities to ensure a fast operation, and Retrospect Backup 17 allows customers to export a preflight summary including backup files and tape information.

Retrospect Backup 17 is now certified for Nexsan E-Series and Nexsan Unity storage devices.

Centralized Management
Retrospect's high-level dashboard provides a high-level view of the entire state of your backup environment.
Cross-Platform Support
Heterogeneous networks are protected using Retrospect’s native client software, ensuring perfect backups regardless of operating system.
End-to-End Security

Smart Incremental Backup
Intelligent incremental backups enable Retrospect to backup up only new or changed files.
Smart Restore
Retrospect always restores exactly the files that belong on a volume; no unwanted files get restored and later require cleanup.
Fit any Storage Budget
Grooming allows customers to stay protected with a long-term backup retention policy to ensure recovery from yesterday, last month, or five years ago, using storage that fits their budget.
Monitoring Tools
Retrospect integrates with the latest monitoring systems, including Nagios, Slack, and IFTTT.
Data Deduplication
Retrospect maximizes storage usage by only copying unique files—even across multiple computers—to the backup media.
Disaster Recovery
Boot media can be created for nearly every Windows system protected by Retrospect to provide fast recovery from a non-bootable state.
Flexible Destination
Retrospect supports most types of magnetic media for backup, including hard disk drives, network-attached disk, cloud storage, flash media, and every major tape format.
Perpetual License
Each copy of Retrospect is a lifetime license for data protection, with no monthly subscription fees and affordable upgrade pricing.
Powerful Filtering
To include or skip specific files, folders, and volumes, or to back up only specific data to cloud storage, Retrospect includes both built-in and user-definable selectors that filter data based on a multitude of conditions, including file names, dates, and types.
Power Conservation
To reduce the overall power demands for backups, Retrospect awakens sleeping/stand-by mode computers to back them up and then allows them to return to their low-power state.
Monitor on an iPhone
Use the free Retrospect iOS app on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to keep tabs on backups over Wi-Fi or 3/4G.
