Product Description:

Designed to protect Mac OS X systems with absolute accuracy and reliability, Dantz Retrospect Backup properly backs up and restores all Mac OS X files and information, including both the data and resource forks of multi-part files, HFS+ metadata, UNIX-style permissions and group ownership, and hard-linked files. Automatic scheduling ensures that backups run even when no Mac OS X user is logged in, and Retrospect client software allows entire networks of Macs to be backed up and restored across the LAN. Dantz Retrospect Backup v5.0 supports more storage devices than any other backup software available for the Mac OS. Hard disk drives, Apple CD-RW drives, CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drives, SuperDrives and other writable and rewritable DVD drives, tape drives and libraries, and removable cartridge drives are all supported.

The engine works, but not the console. Without 10.5 you can't configure or manage the backups.
Bummer. Probably another 4 months of waiting for that.

Build 8.1.148 now supports PPC-based Macs. Anyone actually tried it out on a PPC Mac?

The negative comments surprise me. It is true that Retrospect was released prematurely, as we can see by the subsequent patches. However, the current version is a good deal more reliable than Retrospect 6 regarding such important matters as executing scheduled backups. The new interface makes it much easier than before to survey past activities.

Keeping the former version of Retrospect around to read old backups is no problem. There is of course no need to buy new media: when the time comes to recycle backup media, simply use the new format.
