EMC have after three years finally released another version of Retrospect, Retrospect 8.0 for the Mac (well, Intel ones at least, PowerPC support is still forthcoming). Changes from version 6.1 are documented here, and here is a list for upgrade pricing
Notable changes include

• Support for up to 8 simultaneous tasks
• Wake on LAN support
• Delayed verification
• Reporting(!)
• No FTP backups, yet
• AES-128 and AES-256 encryption support
• Staged backup “Disk to Disk to Tape”
• Fast catalog set rebuild (usually requiring only the last tape of the set)
• [Edit] No support for accessing archives created with Retrospect 6.1 or earlier (yet)
