Retrospect "Classic" anyone?

[quadra80]

Hello Fellow 68kmlaers

Im desperately looking for Retrospect backup program for mac os 9, think its version 5 or something.

I have a HP SureStore DAT8 backup tape drivers that sits doing nothing and i would like to use it to backup my collection of programms, over the years ive been gathering from here and there!

i know i could always use so many different types of media to back everything up ...but you know better that anyone its the "challenge" tha attracts me the most

Thanks

Nikitas

Ask around on LEMswap, somebody maybe a week or two ago was giving away a copy for classic mac (v4 maybe?).

I have retrospect for A/UX and V2.x for 68 mac (think it works with PPC as well).

The issues you will have is the software needs a driver for the model DAT you are going to use, I have no problem with SONY DDS2 models on 68k macs but I have not tried the DDS3 and DDS4 units with it.

I can make a stuffit-archive of my installed version.

Not sure which version though, so should you still want this software, let me know, and I'll dig it out for you!

Cheers,

Old, but in case someone looks up the thread in the future...

The full version of Retrospect has drivers built in for most of the tape drives that it supports. Of course, if one has a tape drive newer than the version of Retrospect, one may be out of luck unless there was a supplement or update.

The original poster appears to have a DDS2 drive so Retrospect 4 or 5 should serve his needs.
