![]() ![]() ![]() In this case study, we will describe how we designed and built Retrospect, along with some of the technical challenges we encountered. It abstracts away the complexity of distributed tracing and session replay, so developers can spend more time fixing bugs than finding them. Retrospect is an open-source full-stack observability tool. We cannot guarantee systems will work as expected, but we can help you fix them faster. ![]() ![]() This in tandem with distributed tracing speeds up the debugging process for modern applications. Fortunately, tools like session recording can give developers an exact reproduction of the user session rather than relying on user feedback. Developers need tools that can account for the interaction between front-end UI and back-end services. While distributed tracing simplifies back-end debugging, the number of ways a customer can break applications from the browser has increased exponentially. Although tracing does not give an exact answer, it does narrow the field of investigation. By applying distributed tracing, developers can see how requests move through their system, revealing why a transaction did not go as expected. When applications live on separate machines, developers need a single tool that can tell them where to start looking. However, these systems become more complex and decentralized every year, increasing the difficulty of tracking down bugs. What matters is how quickly developers can identify and repair the problem. It could be the code in a microservice, the machine it lives on, or the network it connects to. A free trial version is available as well. Boxed version goes on sale in November and folks who have purchased the previous version on or after July 20, 2011 will get Retrospect 9 free of charge.Distributed systems will inevitably fail. Other offerings include the $479 single-server, 20-seat license, all the way up to the $1,669 multi server version with unlimited clients. More after the break…Ī five-seat version for individual users will set you back $129 ($249 with ASM). Retrospect 9 for Mac is available in many flavors. Retrospect 9 also offers a new view of past backups that show only those files that were copied during the backup, making it easy to see Retrospect’s data deduplication technology at work conserving backup storage space. Specifically, Retrospect can now run twice as many simultaneous operations as the previous version it uses less memory and fewer processor cycles at idle tape library management has been improved Retrospect’s configuration file is more resistant to corruption and client backups and restores are faster. Network backup supports Mac, Linux and Windows boxes and the software is now speedier, has a prettified user interface and introduces task workflows. What’s more, it supports popular WebDAV storage system in an attempt to remain relevant in this world of cloud backups and online services. Retrospect 9 for Mac brings an all-new 64-bit network backup client for Intel Macs, sporting Growl notifications and AES-256 encryption so it’s more secure as a corporate backup solution. In 2010, Roxio snapped up the company from EMC, but they spun off of Roxio later. Today, the new company introduced a new team which announced a major new version of the Retrospect utility. EMC acquired the original Retrospect developer, Dantz Development Corp, in 2004. They’ve been around since OS 6-7, earning the users’ trust with their easy to use and comprehensive Mac backup solution. ![]()
