PowerPC soon - bernie90210

The release notes state April. What I'm more concerned about is the fact that in its current state, Retrospect 8 can't read backup sets created by earlier versions of Retrospect!

PowerPC soon - backupgeek

6.1 and 8.0 can be installed on the same computer without a conflict. Restores of 6.1 data using 6.1 should not impact the use of 8.0. Support for 6.1 backup sets is planned for an update to 8.0.

an interesting build procedure? - Marty.Skinner

I'm surprised that they are developing this application such that releasing a PPC-compatible build takes any significant amount of time and couldn't be coupled with their general first release. That implies that PPC versus Intel "versions" may have different code bases and thus eventually (or right away) have different bugs/features. Hopefully I'm wrong and the whole thing is going to be built Universal from a tightly-common code base.

On a different note, I guess I'm glad that part of the v8 can still run on one of my computers, but since I have no Leopard at all it sounds like I cannot use any of v8 because they made the controller require Leopard.
