Several months back, we set up retrospect to try to back up several
machines in our group, and it was nothing but pain. (All sorts of
weird, unexplained--even by tech support--errors, machines not backed
up, etc.) I'd advise against using retrospect if at all possible. A
much better solution is the UC Backup service--see
http://ucbackup.berkeley.edu for details....
