I have have very negative experiences with Retrospect. It certainly
doesn't scale. My predessor tried to backup 500+ machines with it. It
took more time to manage than its worth. Probably works well in small
workgroups of Macs. I found the windows version pretty well useless.
We are now moving to using a huge file server. (Which is backed up by
Legato networker)
