Thorgrim Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 I thought I would give Retrospect another try, I used it years ago on an early PPC machine using a tape drive. It was wonderful for years. Saved my data several times. Then sometime after version 6 thing got very unreliable and I moved on. I like a lot of what the current version should be able to do for me and thought I would give it another try. On my Mac Pro (2013) running macOS 10.14.6, the 18.1.1.120 installer, installs a single file /Library/Application Support/Retropect/configs.xml and quits. No app. No login items. No launchd .plists. No console messages. Nothing. I don't have time to debug what should be a VERY reliable app, it is for backups after all. At least failing quick saves me time and I appreciate that at least. I'm sorry to be moving on for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Did the Retrospect engine get installed? You can look under System Preferences. You can also check library/application support/Retrospect. You are also welcome to email support@retrospect.com and we can help directly.

Thorgrim Posted September 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Nope! Nothing, I figure the installer is crashing but can't find any evidence of that either. I am running the installer from a standard account. Sorry if I'm being a bit harsh and I know this stuff with the current Apple is a real pain. I wanted you to know about my experience so you can avoid loosing other customers over this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
