Retrospect has always been a big problem. Every client that I have ever had who has used Retrospect, has had problems with data loss of some type, whether it be subtle data loss like file modification dates being changed to the backup date, or more obvious data loss like files not being backed up at all, or files not able to be restored off the backup medium. It does not matter to me whether the problem is actual bugs in Retrospect, or user error resulting from the confusing user interface and options. Either way, I discourage the use of Retrospect.
The one thing that has always worked for me is Carbon Copy Cloner. It does one thing well. It’s free. It has never let me down.
