StephenOrd Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi, Any update on progress with Retrospect compatability with Vista 64-bit? I hope things are going well, this is now the only program that I regularly use that isn't working on my 64-bit platform! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjungle001 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'll second that query - only thing holding me from backing up all my equipment at home is the lack of support for 64-bit Vista in Retrospect {:?( Any news on even a timeline when support may be coming out?

rjj45 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Just got a new laptop with Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Installed the Retrospect Client so that I could backup this machine. All seemed fine until I did the first backup. I get the error -1017 when trying to do the open file backup and also when trying to backup the system state. The rest of the backup seems OK. On further investigation I found that Retrospect doesn't support 64-bit Vista and that is probably why I'm getting errors. This brings up 2 questions that I hope somebody can answer: 1. Are there plans to support 64-bit Vista? 2. If yes to #1, what is the timeframe. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenOrd Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 As you can see, I asked that question back on 22nd October. The lack of any information is worrying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 EMC is a public company, and as a policy we do not provide release dates or details for products in development. We are working on Vista 64 bit support but I can not offer you a release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjj45 Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Interesting. I work with Documentum products a lot and EMC is always telling us about new features and approximate timeframes. We do a lot of development work and use VMware images to do that work. It is because of the increased resource requirements of Documentum D6 that I got the new machine in the first place. Anyway, I'm happy to hear that you're working on it. I only hope I can wait. I keep putting more stuff on this machine and at some point I'm going to have to have a backup. At this point I'm hoping it will be with Retrospect. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
