Data Protection for 30
Years
Retrospect Backup 1.0 was
released in 1989 by Dantz Development Corporation. Since then, millions of
people have used Retrospect to protect their digital information. Customers
constantly write to Retrospect to talk about their data loss and how Retrospect
has enabled them to restore their critical data for personal use and business
continuity.
"Our school was mostly
destroyed during the 2017 October Santa Rosa fire," said Dirk Bietau, Director
of IT at Cardinal Newman High School. "Retrospect engineers were able to help
us recover all of the school's data from a backup, which was kept off-site."
Retrospect will be hosting
events in San Francisco, London, Paris, Frankfurt and other cities for
customers and partners to join in celebrating three decades of data protection.
