Mattosaur4 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Hi Does the latest client installer 6.2.234 for 10.4/10.5 install fine on a 10.6 client? As I am using Retrospect 6.1 for Mac from a 10.4.11 machines still. If not, is an updated client going to be released for those users still using 6.1? I am not planning to move to version 8 until next year. Matt Edited September 23, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Snow Leopard IS NOT supported with Retrospect 6.1, and never will be, in any manner whatsoever. It's dead, Jim.

Mattosaur4 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks, couldn't find this in the FAQ, guess I needed to look harder. Time to start looking at v8 vs other options then. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattosaur4 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 It's not exactly easy to find either when you go to the Homepage, click Support choose Technical support and then your product. No mention of a blog there. Nor the K Base. No sticky post refering to the blog... Quick Search in the forums, finally showed some results with the word blog. Saying all this I can't find anything in the blog specific to 6.1 and 10.6 anyway. Reading the forums for version 8 it sounds like I'd be crazy to move to this as a prodcution app for now. It would make life so much easier if the EMC team worked on making the the changes to the 6.2.234 10.5 client to cover 10.6 so we have a relaible product to use in the meantime until v 8 reaches a more mature state...

rhwalker Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 The latest news can be found in the Retrospect blog. That's exactly the link that I provided in all of its Fisher Price (or Home Depot) resplendent orange glory: Note that Snow Leopard support has been delayed and is still a few weeks off even for Retrospect 8:Retrospect 8 support for Snow Leopard is delayed Gosh, the new skin for the forum is gaudy. Can't even tell when links are posted. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 It's not exactly easy to find either when you go to the Homepage, click Support choose Technical support and then your product. No mention of a blog there. Nor the K Base. No sticky post refering to the blog... Quick Search in the forums, finally showed some results with the word blog. Well, there is a topic link to the Retrospect Development Blog in the Announcements, News and Resources Forum Not that there shouldn't also be a link in one of the places you mention. That's exactly why I provided the Fisher-Price (Home Depot) resplendent orange link to the specific blog posting in my post upthread. Saying all this I can't find anything in the blog specific to 6.1 and 10.6 anyway. Sigh. Mac OS 10.6 is known as Snow Leopard. The blog post is entitled (as my link was entitled): Retrospect 8 support for Snow Leopard is delayed Sorry. I tried to be clear. It's so hard when orange is the color de jour.

Mattosaur4 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yes your original link had all the info I was after in it. Saying there will be no 10.6 aka Snow Leopard client available for 6.1 server. The blog which I mention above doesn't have anything specific mentioned about "6.1 Server AND 10.6 / Snow Leopard" it's the dev blog post about version 8's full support of 10.6 being delayed. It still means I can't upgrade any machines to 10.6 until I have Retro version 8, which going by the forums sounds like it will be a major headache / pretty unreliable for a while yet. I appreciate the team are working hard to iron out the version 8 bugs but it leaves us 6.1 users no official way to backup 10.6 machines in the meantime.

rhwalker Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Ok, my apologies. I thought it was clear from my initial post upthread that Retrospect 6.1 is dead, doesn't support Snow Leopard, and never will. That's why I provided the link upthread to the Snow Leopard (in)compatibility statement: Snow Leopard Compatibility Statement Unsupported Configurations The following Retrospect configurations are unsupported with Snow Leopard, and they will remain unsupported in the future. · EMC Retrospect 6.1 and earlier for Mac · EMC Retrospect 7.5 and earlier for Windows Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
