Additional Features

Every edition of Retrospect includes our extensive feature set for complete data protection.

  • 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

    Retrospect supports a variety of encryption algorithms, including AES-256, for both at-rest and in-transit security options.

  • 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.
