I’ve asked far and wide and there is very little information to be had on Yosemite. The few reviews discovered online range from great to okay. I didn’t see very much negative about the product but I didn’t find very much at all.
A consultant pointed me towards EMC’s Retrospect (info) (formerly Dantz Retrospect). The pre-sales rep at EMC told me that competative and non-profit pricing are offered. I’m assuming she’s not mistaken but Retrospect, after discounts, comes out a hell of a lot cheaper than Backup Exec and Yosemite. One reason is that their Multi-server package allows for unlimited clients (!!??). For every other manufacturer, client licenses are additional. Also, EMC extends the discounts beyond the core product to the agents like those for Exchange and open files. Yosemite does the same but Symantec does not.
I have some more research ahead of me to make sure this is all kosher and Retrospect is a good choice. A quick Google search shows there is more to read about Retrospect than for Yosemite. Yes, it’s true, I hate Symantec tech support this much.
Anyone have experience with EMC Retrospect? Your input would be appreciated. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
