Dantz Reports Retrospect Backup Software

[J.A.F._Doorhof]

Dantz Development Corporation revealed that Retrospect Backup software now supports PC DVD+RW drives from Ricoh and Sony. DVD+RW is a rewritable DVD format that stores 4.7 gigabytes of computer data or more than two hours of high-quality video per rewritable disc. Owners of Ricoh and Sony DVD+RW drives may now use their devices for reliable backups with Dantz's Retrospect Backup software for Microsoft Windows.

"DVD+RW is an obvious technology for us to support with Retrospect," stated Tony Barbagallo, Dantz's vice president of marketing. "Versatility is the name of the game in consumer storage, and we expect these drives will become quite popular, thanks to their seven times CD storage capacity, video compatibility with consumer DVD players, and low media cost. Now they make excellent backup devices, too."

Owners of Retrospect Backup for Windows may add DVD+RW support to their Retrospect product by downloading the latest free Retrospect Driver Update from the Dantz website. Support for DVD+RW drives is also planned for Dantz's next Macintosh release.
