I’m still poking around in the corners, but SFSG. I easily found my way around it without resorting to the user manual. The UX/UI is more intuitive and usable than Retrospect’s. Minimum price is $350 for five seats, while Retrospect 8’s minimum is $129 for three seats. It’s much better than EMC Retrospect.ĬrashPlan Pro is far more expensive than Retrospect. CrashPlan the edition is confusing.)īecause the consumer edition doesn’t support NAS, I wound up needing the business edition.

I tried both CrashPlan (their “consumer” edition) and CrashPlan Pro (their “business” edition), both for the Mac. “CrashPlan”, made by Code 42 Software, comes in two editions. So I’ve decided to find another backup solution.Ĭommenter “Daniel” recommended CrashPlan Pro as an alternative. Yet it still hasn’t done so, four months after initial release. I’ve hoped EMC would do the right thing by its unpaid volunteer QA department customers, and release a big update that fixed the serious Epic Fails. ![]() Each Retrospect 8 update since March has fixed bugs, and although it cumulatively hasn’t been enough, I’ve hoped that the bugfix pace would pick up and/or reach a usability critical mass.įor reasons I won’t go into, I reached my limit today. Out of past loyalty to the Retrospect product line, not wanting to again evaluate backup applications, and simple laziness inertia, I’ve stayed with it. The two support forums contain complaints and bug reports that almost defy belief. We customers are doing the QA that EMC should have done. Rather than changing this one, I wrote another post about CrashPlan. ![]() UPDATE 7/27/09: Since writing this post, I’ve made additional discoveries and corrected a misunderstanding about CrashPlan’s operation. ![]()
