![]() Since then, I’m still unsure if backups will continue to run without dropping the firewall, because I had a backup problem that might (or might not) have been PEBKAC. After that, I raised the firewall and things worked normally. I had to drop my server’s firewall in order to register a client, even though the server application (“PROServer”) had “allow incoming connections” in OS X’s Security preferences. CrashPlan Pro has a client-server design that’s inverted from Retrospect 8’s: Clients register with & initiate operations with the server, rather than the reverse. One network oddity happened during installation. Saints be praised! Four months after release, Retrospect 8 still doesn’t have any user documentation beyond a “getting started” file. But it costs $.ĬrashPlan has user documentation. The business edition supports NAS, and works great except for a possible network burp in my configuration. This rather sucks, because the consumer edition is free if you don’t want to backup to their online storage. It’s not extremely clear from the documentation, but it’s the reality. The consumer edition doesn’t support NAS. I’m still poking around in the corners, but SFSG. I easily found my way around it without resorting to the user manual. ![]() The UX/UI is more intuitive and usable than Retrospect’s. ![]() Minimum price is $350 for five seats, while Retrospect 8’s minimum is $129 for three seats. It’s much better than EMC Retrospect.ĬrashPlan Pro is far more expensive than Retrospect. CrashPlan the edition is confusing.)īecause the consumer edition doesn’t support NAS, I wound up needing the business edition. Like my first review of the released Retrospect 8.0, I’ll cut to the chase here.ĬrashPlan Pro works great. (Hey, Code 42: The consumer edition’s name needs a little work. I tried both CrashPlan (their “consumer” edition) and CrashPlan Pro (their “business” edition), both for the Mac. “CrashPlan”, made by Code 42 Software, comes in two editions. So I’ve decided to find another backup solution.Ĭommenter “Daniel” recommended CrashPlan Pro as an alternative. Yet it still hasn’t done so, four months after initial release. I’ve hoped EMC would do the right thing by its unpaid volunteer QA department customers, and release a big update that fixed the serious Epic Fails. Each Retrospect 8 update since March has fixed bugs, and although it cumulatively hasn’t been enough, I’ve hoped that the bugfix pace would pick up and/or reach a usability critical mass.įor reasons I won’t go into, I reached my limit today. Out of past loyalty to the Retrospect product line, not wanting to again evaluate backup applications, and simple laziness inertia, I’ve stayed with it. The two support forums contain complaints and bug reports that almost defy belief. We customers are doing the QA that EMC should have done. ![]() Rather than changing this one, I wrote another post about CrashPlan.

BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. To help you analyze the Retrospect.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points. ![]() This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update.
