John,

Just to add to what Chuq (THANKS!) has said, DiskFit's is a BACKUP application;
whereas, Retrospect is probably the first, true ARCHIVAL application for the 
Mac.

DiskFit's main goal in life is that if in the unfortunate event of complete 
data loss, your last incremental backup should have been a full and complete
backup.  Essentially, a SmartSet is a "shadow" or virtual copy of your hard 
disk at the time of that backup.

Retrospect, on the other hand, is designed to archive information...not backup
information.  There are subtle differences, but as Chuq mentioned, the two 
products are complimentary.
