This is a launchDaemon component of Retrospect, a comprehensive backup and disaster-recovery platform used by businesses and IT professionals to protect data across Mac, Windows and Linux systems. The daemon runs in the background to handle scheduled backups, monitor backup jobs, manage snapshots and coordinate with the main Retrospect client application. Retrospect is marketed as an enterprise-grade alternative to cloud-only backup, offering local and offsite backup, bare-metal recovery, and granular restore capabilities.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis component is part of the Retrospect backup client and cannot be updated separately. To ensure it runs natively on Apple Silicon, you must update the parent Retrospect application itself through Retrospect's official installer or update mechanism — not through the App Store or a generic download page. Visit retrospect.com, log in to your account, and download the latest version of the Retrospect Mac client installer for your license level. Running the installer will replace the old Intel-based daemon with the native Apple Silicon version. If Retrospect has not yet shipped a native Apple Silicon build, contact Retrospect support directly to confirm the timeline; Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so any Intel-only builds will stop working on that release.
