	I use Retrospect at home and at work, and I love it to pieces.
At home, I back up to DC-2000 cartridges, and at work, I have it configured
to back up our AppleShare server to Teac CT-600 cartridges automatically,
every night at midnight. It works like a charm.

	IMHO, Retrospect is the finest backup program I have ever seen.
Occasionally, I wish that it did true incremental backups; once in a while
I backup my entire disk, and I keep a running archive of documents only,
so that I can keep old versions.

	This is not a review, nor do I have any affiliation with Dantz
Development. I'm merely an extremely satisfied customer.
