Is it to complicated to give a os version like 7.x or 8.x ?

[supernova777]

hes saying he needs retrospect 4.1 and that retrospect 5+ only works on mac os 9.0 and above
diehard said he had the cd.. and that he would upload it.. but did not.

but yes mastercontrol.. u arent exactly being verbose here
and you put little effort into communicating your needs.

probably why diehard has put little effort into helping you.
if u want something maybe u should ask nicely + communicate properly

[MasterControl]

Reading through the posts above, I've expressed exactly what I'm looking for, and not too demanding either.

I'm looking for Retrospect v4.1, and the v4.2/v4.3 updates.
I'm also looking for the "advanced driver kit" which enables the use of tapes that aren't DAT (such as DLT and AIT).

v5.0 supports DLT out of the box, but it needs Mac OS 9 as a minimum, and I have some apps that won't work under 9.

If it is not available have you thought about a different backup strategy. You could use what you got at hand. For example if you got a machine that can run os9 and up use the server and your drive on that machine and make your other machine a client. Thats what i would do if i cant have it all.

btw is the drive available and ready to use in your system? If so use a different backup program or just drag and drop i have done that before.

the software was offered by diehard
which is why he was trying to accept the offer.. diehard often gets distracted + takes   about 4 months to come thru on what he says he can do LOL
right Diehard??? bhahaha

[devils_advisor]

Maybe he looked and didnt find the specific version. Doesnt seem anybody got it.

if it is not even on macgarden and they have a huge archive then its time to change the plan.

Just found my original factory Retrospect 4.1 Package (with emergency Bootable CD creation)

diehard has not responded to the poor guy since he offered to post it

MC... please let me know if you want me to image CD and upload... of if Garden took care of your needs

Yes, please image and upload that CD…

Thanks!

Mastercontrol.. please message diehard directly.. private message

[DieHard]

I am old and honestly forgot all about it, never got a PM reminder... I am imaging it now and will put it up on Adrive...

you wasted your time anyway .... its the express version. If he got the 4.0 might as well use it and stop crying about the updates until they show up somewhere or change the backup strategy.

[DieHard]

Yeah, I just realized that... as he mentioned, it won't work with tape drives... well at least it's up for others that may use DVD-RAM, DC-RW, Zip, Jazz, etc.

didn't realize that it was express, it was an NFR copy (I just scanned box), I never opened it until today, lol

[supernova777]

he thinks he can update from 4.1 to 4.2 + 4.3 and get the support he needs
he may be correct
if he can actualy find the updates!

[MasterControl]

Thanks for the help DieHard.
Yeah, Express 4.1 can't do tape.... And can't be upgraded to full 4.1 or 4.2/4.3

Crazy that full 4.1 is impossible to find… In the meantime, I'm rebooting into an OS9 partition and using 5.0 from there. It's a clusterf•x, but it's working for now.

[DieHard]

NP... If I find the FULL version, I will post it, I do have some old hard drives I can go thru

sn is inside the archive

[MasterControl]

Wow, thanks!
That's exactly what I was looking for.


Aaaand then it looks like the archive is partly corrupt, or at least the "Retrospect 4.1A.img" file is.

Please advisor, reupload it BINed too. MediaFire eats the fork if you do not "compress" twice.

No you only Compress 1X by making an archive (SIT,BIN,IMG,etc.)

Then you "Encode" with MacBinary

Yes, it is a 2 step process, but it involves Compressing and then encoding, not compressing twice

[supernova777]

omg. u think u guys would know this by now..
