Retrospect
Retrospect is a professional backup and recovery software suite for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is used by businesses, IT departments, and individual users to create scheduled backups of entire systems, individual files, and network clients, with support for multiple backup destinations (disk, cloud, tape) and recovery granularity ranging from individual files to full-system restore. The software includes both engine (server) and client components and is particularly popular in enterprise environments for multi-platform data protection and disaster recovery planning.

1 suggestionRetrospect 19 already ships with native Apple Silicon support according to the official system requirements documentation, which explicitly lists Apple Silicon processors as supported hardware. This means the latest version of Retrospect runs natively on M-series Macs without any translation layer. If you are still running an older Intel-only version, update to the latest release from the Retrospect website or through your license manager to get the native Apple Silicon build, which will deliver better performance and energy efficiency on M-series Macs. Since today is May 2026 and Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in September 2028, you have time to complete this migration, but it is worth doing sooner rather than later to take advantage of native performance.
