help Retrospect Backup FAQ
What is Retrospect Backup used for?
Retrospect Backup is backup software for protecting computers, servers, applications, and external storage. It supports scheduled and policy-based backups so users can restore files or systems after deletion, hardware failure, or corruption.
Does Retrospect Backup create immutable backups?
Retrospect includes ransomware protection and can support storage designs that make backup copies harder to alter, but immutability depends on the target storage and configuration. A normal backup file on a writable local disk should not automatically be called immutable.
Can Retrospect restore individual files?
Yes, file-level restore is one of its core uses, alongside restoring larger backup sets. The available restore options depend on the backup type, catalog state, and whether the required storage is connected or reachable.
Does Retrospect Backup offer continuous data protection?
Retrospect is primarily known for scheduled, incremental, proactive, and policy-driven backups rather than pure continuous data protection for every write. Organizations needing near-continuous replication should compare it with products such as Veeam CDP, Zerto, or SIOS.
