EMC Retrospect Client 7.6 provides an excellent data recovery solution to the user, so that all the necessary data may be retrieved in case of any fatal failure or mishap in due course.
Basically the EMC Retrospect 7.6 is the client version of backup program, and is installed in a Retro client directory. Consequently the user can view the retroclient.exe process running in the task manager. Soon after the Retrospect client has been installed onto a networked Windows computer, it searches for the client computer automatically and logs it in so that it can be backed up.
The application comes with a built-in Mozy, which keeps running in the background like a ghost process, on a desired schedule. This service is also highly flexible as the existing clients can be updated easily by the Retrospect backup server anytime, as per the requirements.
For recovering a backup, user may simply create a DR CD from the backup media to recover a non-bootable Windows client computer. The DR CD can be used for booting up the client and performing a complete restore with Retrospect. Another good part about the application is that each Retrospect Client license enables backups on one additional networked computer client as well.
Pros
- Backups on one additional networked computer are allowed
Cons
- Virus attack during installation may be hard to handle
