[X4U] Backup Software

[Zane H. Healy]

What is the current state of Retrospect?  IIRC, it is now owned by 
EMC, is it still supported?  I used it over a decade ago, it is one 
of 2-3 apps that have been on my list to upgrade, but sadly there 
have always been more important things to spend my money on.

Personally Time Machine isn't an option for me, I'm stuck on 10.4.11 
until I can upgrade my G5 2x2.  In the mean time I'm using a Drobo 
and a shell script that I wrote which uses rsync.
