Key Benefits

• Proven Technology

Fast, automated backups and ease of use make Retrospect Express the software trusted to protect critical data on millions of computers worldwide. More than a decade of real-world experience, patented technology, and numerous awards combine to make Retrospect Express the premier choice for desktop/notebook backup.

• Complete Protection

Retrospect Express provides complete protection for desktops and notebooks. Retrospect backs up important data, all operating system files and settings, and device drivers, as well as applications and their settings. Retrospect Express supports a large variety of backup devices such as hard disks, removable drives, and CD/DVD drives. Whether you need to recover a file or folder, or perform a bare metal system restore, Retrospect Express has you covered.

• Fast Backups with 100% Accurate Restores

Retrospect’s patented Progressive Backup saves time because it backs up only new and changed files after the first full backup. Retrospect Express performs 100% accurate restores without bringing back unwanted files and folders that were previously deleted, renamed, or moved. Other backup software avoids flawed restores only by repeatedly performing full backups, which wastes time and consumes backup media space.

• Easy to Use

Install Retrospect Express and perform your first backup in less than 5 minutes. The EasyScript™ Wizard guides you through the steps required to set up the automatic, scheduled backups of your computer. When backups are run, Retrospect Express prompts for additional backup media if required. And when you need to perform a restore, Retrospect Express locates files quickly — even if you’re not sure on which piece of backup
