- Auto Scripts require constant attention
I have a small company and have been fighting this product for over two years. It is extremeily slow on backup, slows machines to unusable speed for end users and requires that someone monitor it's auto scripts.

EMC Retrospect Pro ver. 7.5 Upgrade:
I have a home network with a Mac and a couple of PCs. I was looking for a backup solution. I had the "Lite" version of Retrospect included with my NAS. That made me eligible to get the Upgrade of the 7.5 Pro version with 3 licenses. So I figured for under $50 I'd be good. So I got it here at Amazon. Well, it works, sorta.

- I Finally Gave Up on this Convoluted Bloatware
This product is pretty much the worst piece of software I've ever used.It was constantly complaining that it couldn't connect to the backup server, which required constant intervention.Also, I hated the fact that the backup files were only intelligible to the program itself. I finally gave up and purchased a Seagate USB drive that comes bundled with a great little utility called BounceBack.It works 100 times better than this product.
Rating: - Poor Customer Service
I contacted the vendor for help/assistance in regards to a problem I was having.The Support from the company was lacking. If I had known that I would not received the help I would have looked elsewhere.I do not recommend the vendor.
