amkassir Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 So, rumor has it that Lion will be available for download from the App Store on Thursday, July 14. The Golden Master, I believe, has already been seeded to developers. We'll know in 2 days if the rumors are right. Last I heard, an update to Retrospect 8.2 bringing Lion compatibility had an "early July" target date. How are things looking? The date of my planned update to Lion depends heavily on when Lion compatibility arrives for Retrospect. Of course, updates will likely be necessary for a host of other applications, too, so I'm in no rush but just a bit curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I would never install the first version of a new OS (in this case 10.7). I would wait until at least one or two bugfixes has been released (in this case 10.7.1 or 10.7.2). By that time most applications has released a Lion-compatible version.

Mayoff Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 We are working on a compatibility statement to be released soon. Overall you should still be able to run backups with 8.x. Some of the new Lion features may not be fully supported, but backup should work. Official detailed statement coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steve Maser Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 One thing I noticed: If the firewall is on in 10.6 and you upgrade to Lion, the retroclient is *blocked*. You have to go and "allow all connections". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry-in-florida Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 One thing I noticed: If the firewall is on in 10.6 and you upgrade to Lion, the retroclient is *blocked*. You have to go and "allow all connections". Another way to do the same thing is to reinstall the client, if that's what upgraded. Believe that both methods will work. I made a copy of my existing boot disk (having had experience with Lion for experimentation prior), even more off line, on a separate partition/disk. I'm pretty comfortable with Lion as a client. No PPC on Lion, BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steve Maser Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Lion Compatibility is outlined at: http://kb.roxio.com/search.aspx?URL=/content/000157RT&PARAMS=set-locale=en does this point: The Mac OS X Lion installer creates a hidden 640 MB "Recovery HD" partition that can boot the computer and provide access to tools like the Terminal and Disk Utility, should the need arise. If Retrospect is used to perform a complete recovery of a Lion startup volume to a blank disk or one that has been repartitioned with Disk Utility, the Recovery HD partition won't be created. Running the Lion installer on the disk before performing the restore will ensure that the Recovery HD partition is properly created and provisioned. indicate the reason for what I've reported in that the internal "Macintosh HD" is no longer an "on-line" source after you upgrade to Lion and you need to delete that and reset any Media Sets stored on the internal drive, etc? That would make sense in that the original "Macintosh HD" partition would be resized by the Lion installer so it's not the exact same "source" after the install.
