miles_stylus Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I have recently had an issue with a bad backup over writing a good one (or at least that I what I assume has happened). Do any Retrospect products do the Son . Father . Grandfather method so that in the instance of a backup going bad I at least have something to roll back to? Also I want to backup the Main machine, laptop and Multimedia machine to at least one Terrabyte hard drive array (possibly mirroring this to a remote location across the wireless lan) - what Retrospect product am I looking at to do this? Thanks Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekr0phage Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi Miles, We would need to know what operating system you would be running Retrospect from before these questions could be answered accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekr0phage Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 All 3 machines are running XP? If that's the only OS present, and there are only 3 machines (+ whatever NAS device you have) then you would only need the Professional license. This will run on a non-server OS and comes with 2 client licenses. As far as the Grandfater/Father/Son scheme, you'll need to schedule a rotation of a few backup sets to accomplish this when backing up to disk.
