Richy_Boy Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 With all this talk of Macs enjoying the benefits and reliability (?) of Retrospect 8.0 I'm getting jealous. After searching around I can't find any estimated dates for its release on the Windows platform, which I assume IS going to happen at some point. Can anyone throw rough 'Quarter' timelines at when RS 8.0 for Windows will be hitting BETA and release? Thanks, Richard ps. Sorry I did do searching, but nothing useful came up!

Mayoff Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 We do not have a release schedule for an 8.0 for Windows yet, but we do have some cool Windows features coming soon to help with restoring crashed systems. keep in mind that almost all the features in 8.0 for Mac already exist in 7.6 for windows. This was the first Mac upgrade in over 5 years. The only missing feature on the Windows side is the console/engine being separated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruggles Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 YES please focus on updates for Windows DDT should be able to allow use to simply add an option to backup an overwriteo any tape in the LTO drive. Am wondering whether to continue annual maintenance or look elsewhere for a DDT backup solution for Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 an option to backup an overwriteo any tape in the LTO drive. We will probably never offer a feature to erase any random tape in the library. That is very risky and could cause data loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
