Retrospect Menu
Retrospect Menu is a LaunchAgent helper component that runs in the background as part of Retrospect, the backup and disaster-recovery software from Retrospect, Inc. It manages scheduled backup jobs, monitors backup status, and provides menu-bar access to the backup application's core functions. The component is not a standalone product — it is installed and updated automatically when you install or update the main Retrospect backup application.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRetrospect Menu is not a standalone application but a helper component bundled inside Retrospect, the backup software. There is nothing to update separately — the component is managed entirely by the parent Retrospect application. To ensure Retrospect Menu runs natively on Apple Silicon, you need to update Retrospect itself to the latest native build. Visit Retrospect's website or use the built-in update mechanism within the Retrospect application (typically found in the main app's Preferences or Help menu) to download the current version. If Retrospect has not yet released a native Apple Silicon build, check the vendor's website for an estimated timeline — Apple is removing Rosetta 2 from macOS in September 2028, so it is important to move to a native build before that date if Retrospect is critical to your backup strategy.
