[quote Chupa Chupa]A very good reason not to use Retrospect Xpress. It's an old app that hasn't be updated in years. Years!
According to the website, it was updated 6 months ago.
[quote mattkime] They're two very different apps. SuperDuper and CCC make bootable clones of your drive. Retrospect will let you keep multiple historical revisions of your files, copying only what has changed. (somewhat similar to TimeMachine)
According to the User Guide, Retrospect Express (not Retrospect) does make bootable backups. And can be configured to do a smart backup, similar to SuperDuper.
Well, it looks like nobody here is really using Retrospect Express. I may test it out for a while, maybe as a secondary backup system. If I get the motivation, I'll try to report back what I've found.
