For those interested in the once-dominant Retrospect for backup, note that it has just been acquired from EMC by Sonic Solutions, the parents of Toast Titanium maker Roxio. The people we've spoken with on the Retrospect team are happy about the acquisition and hope it will enable them to improve Retrospect 8 significantly. For more details, see Retrospect Backup Software Acquired by Sonic Solutions in TidBITS.
