Mayoff Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I am happy to announce the release of Retrospect 5.1 for Macintosh. This exciting new version adds many new features including a bootable Disaster Recovery CD and support for Red Hat "Linux" versions 6.2, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 8. A breakdown of changes from 5.0 to 5.1 is found at: http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=kbase&ACTION=KBASE&id=28004 In addition to the above changes you will find the following fixes: -DVD-RAM disks can once again be used with Retrospect under Mac OS X. -Finder.dat files no longer cause Retrospect for Windows clients to incorrectly report file sizes. -The 5.1 Client no longer uses more then it's fair share of CPU resources over extended periods of time. -The Apple Menu is no longer available when logged out during backup -Uses should no longer see the -40 error for retropds.22. Upgrade pricing is available from: http://www.dantz.com/en/upgrades/index.dtml More information can be found on our homepage at http://www.dantz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_C Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Questons about Retrospect 5.1... 1. Does 5.1 finally solve problems with Unicode filenames (specifically Greek)? 2. I'm confused about the upgrade fees. Does the upgrade fee apply from 5.0 to 5.1, or only from 4.x to 5.1? 3. Is an Express version of 5.1 planned?

It is a very high priority for the next release. Make sure you join the unicode mailing list: http://list.dantz.com/mailman/listinfo/unicode_support Quote: 2. I'm confused about the upgrade fees. Does the upgrade fee apply from 5.0 to 5.1, or only from 4.x to 5.1? The upgrade is for 5.0 to 5.1 and 4.x to 5.1 Quote: . Is an Express version of 5.1 planned?

beerstine Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 So if I understand this right, Dantz wants an additional $60 from me to upgrade software (Express) which has caused me nothing but problems backing up a drive across my small home network...Type -43 errors everywhere, which Dantz never provided a solution for and took me months and a system reinstall to find a solution for on my own. If this is the strategy Dantz is taking, it won't be receiving any more of my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
