I just wanted to drop a note in here. I have been using the Qrecall trial key for 2 weeks now and just purchased my personal key.
I have been waiting for a "retrospect like" mac backup solution for a very long time now. Qrecall is the first of a myrdia of back up applications that acknowledges some of retrospect's strengths and aims to provide an equivalent or better back up strategy.
One of the main reasons I actually purchased a user key is to encourage the developer- I really hope the development continues. It appears the 1.0.1 has been around for awhile now.
Most of what I read about retrospect is a difficult user interface. I guess I was one of the few the grasped its strengths right away and went to town with it.
Despite the developers intentionality in creating a simpler user experience, I guess it has partly been the change of vocabulary, and partly just the change in doing things- but I haven't always found that QR does what I would have hoped or expected. Thats ok, its not my application under development.
But, as I use it more I hope to log my compliments and gripes here in this thread. Perhaps I can learn how to use QR better while doing so and perhaps the developer might also glean a few suggestions.
BTW, thanks for writing QR, it was dreadfully needed. I don't run leopard yet, I am avoiding it- but even if I ran it I would choose to avoid time machine. I love having an incremental back up with one archive file...
OK, off to play with QR more now that I have my personal user key...
cheers!
