EMC Ensignia dares to show its face at MacWorld
EMC Insignia announced their return to MacWorld:
EMC will highlight and demonstrate the latest version of its backup and recovery software – EMC® Retrospect® for Macintosh, version 6.1 – for consumers and small and medium businesses. In addition, EMC continues to demonstrate its commitment in enhancing Mac data protection as it will announce a call for betas for the next version of EMC Retrospect for Macintosh at Macworld.

After EMC bought Dantz and management put Retrospect for the Mac into what essentially amounted to maintenance mode since before 2004 it had better have done a good job with adding features to the next version. It’s only because the old version is so good and the competition so complex or unreliable that Retrospect still survives.
