  Looking for backup solution

  Posted by Eric Ravilious on June 30, 2016 at 3:24 pm

  Hi

  For over ten years we have been using Dantz/EMC retrospect version 6 as our backup option. Its worked great particularly with all the filters you can apply and the ability to manage a large backup archive in our case a large Media File collection over 3TB.

  Sadly with an upgrade to a 64 bit Window OS it no longer runs. Before we pursue an obvious route to buying a more recent version of the same software I wonder what the alternatives are. I find it a shame that there is no Windows alternative to Mac Time Machine. I want something suitable for a large collection of files and highly intuitive to track changes within them.

  Thanks

  Stephen
