Just today I received in the mail (totally unexpected) version 1.3 of Retrospect, which claims to be completely System 7.0 compatible, including support for sorting by aliases, stationary pads, custon icons, balloon help, virtual memory, and Personal FileShare. My favorite feature: if you drag files onto the Retrospect icon in the Finder, Retrospect will open and automatically prepare to back them up. If Retrospect is open already, the files will be ADDED to those about to be backed up. Very cool. I think Dantz should be praised for this enlightened service.
