Title: Requires Extra Cost CD Burning Software
Review: To create a recovery disk, Retrospect creates a CD image file which must be burned to a CD using another program (the file contains the restore software and a snapshot of the backed up hard drive). When backing up a single large drive, this file easily exceeds the size of a single CD, preventing the use of XP's built in CD burner. The manual said absolutely nothing about this (weak and confusing documentation). Instead, I found the information hidden away in a text file on the Retrospect CD. Because the box and manual said nothing about having to purchase additional software (considering the price of Retrospect, one certainly wouldn't think so), I'm giving this program a low rating. Beyond this, Retrospect appears to be a great program.
Is the review positive or negative?
