Snow Leopard and Retrospect 6.1

[mbernhardt]

Now that people have had a chance to work with it a bit: May I safely assume from what I've read, that as long as what I'm backing up is limited to my home directory and other non-system directories, I should be able to run 6.1 under Snow Leopard with Rosetta and have no problems with backup and restore?

 

I understand the EMC may not support this configuration officially, but will it work reliably?

[Mayoff]

No, 6.1 is NOT supported under Snow Leopard at all. See this statement:

Thanks. As I said, I understand that it's not supported and has limitations. Nonetheless, you and others have indicated that it *should* still work in practice for user files at least.

 

So my question is more to customers out there: Are you using it? Is it working?

[rhwalker]

Running the program on an unsupported configuration that is known to fail for at least some situations would seem to indicate that your data is not worth backing up.

I don't agree. I can rebuild the machine if the OS is lost, but I can't rebuild user data. Some earlier discussions indicated that user data might be reliably backed up and restored under 6.1 and Snow Leopard. I'm checking whether people have found that to be true.
