Doug_M Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Running Big Sur on an M1 Mini, want to backup DAS to a Windows 2019 server running Retrospect Server v18 over LAN. I've had a search through the forums and can't find much regarding M1 clients. Not much in the documentation either. I'd rather not share the volume and mount it on the server unless I have to. Interested in your experience running client on an M1 Mac. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Retrospect fully supports M1 hardware. If you are trying to back up the M1 over the network to the Windows system, you would need to run Retrospect for Windows on the 2019 server and put Retrospect Client onto the M1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_M Posted November 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Great! Our Win server is running Retrospect 18, so we're good there - it's already backing up a pair of Synology NAS boxes without issue. I don't need to back up the M1 itself, just the RAID that's attached to it, but I didn't want to do it via 'sharing' unless I had to. Thanks!

Any time we can have the native ARM version ?, not the Intel translated bad performance version. Regards, JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've kept server and client updated to latest versions, fwiw. Only issue I've had is having to re-establish pw in Retrospect on the server after a Windows update.
