EMC Retrospect Extends Support for Microsoft Windows Vista
February 12, 2007
But maybe a week too late for me…
I was using the Retrospect software to back up my Windows XP notebook, which started to die an unceremonious death a week or so ago. So I ran out and bought a new machine, and found myself stuck with Microsoft Vista because 10 of the 11 notebooks at Best Buy were already running Vista. Then I discovered that my backups, faithfully created with the Retrospect software, had no way of getting to my new Vista machine, since Retrospect wasn’t working on Vista. How delightful!
So how does a major hardware and software vendor like EMC not have software updated at the same time a new version of the dominant OS comes out? I have no idea. Will Retrospect restore the backups from my Windows XP machine onto my Windows Vista machine? I will let you know.
