FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DANTZ SHIPS RETROSPECT BACKUP 5.0 FOR MAC OS X

Leading Macintosh Backup and Restore Application Now Offers Native Mac OS X
Support

ORINDA, CA-March 26, 2002-Dantz Development Corporation, a premier provider
of backup and restore software, announced today that Dantz Retrospect=AE
Backup v5.0, one of the most eagerly awaited software applications for Mac
OS X, is now shipping. With several editions and continued support for Mac
OS 9, Dantz Retrospect Backup v5.0 is the only comprehensive backup
software suite available for Mac OS X.

"Nearly every Macintosh ships with an incredibly reliable, multi-purpose
CD-RW drive or SuperDrive," said Tony Barbagallo, Dantz's vice president of
marketing. "To take full advantage of the potential of these drives, users
need equally reliable backup and restore software. Dantz Retrospect Backup
v5.0 is the backup strategy that Mac users need, and it supports the
storage hardware that they already own."

"More and more Mac users are using Mac OS X full-time because companies
like Dantz are bringing great applications and tools to the platform," said
Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations.
"Whether it's an iPhoto library, an iMovie archive, or a design firm's top
project, Mac users can count on Dantz Retrospect Backup v5.0 to restore
critical files quickly, reliably, and accurately."

Designed to protect Mac OS X systems with absolute accuracy and
reliability, Dantz Retrospect Backup v5.0 properly backs up and restores
all Mac OS X files and information, including both the data and resource
forks of multi-part files, HFS+ metadata, UNIX-style permissions and group
ownership, and hard-linked files. Automatic scheduling ensures that backups
run even when no Mac OS X user is logged in, and Retrospect client software
allows entire networks of Macs to be backed up and restored across the LAN.

Dantz Retrospect Backup v5.0 supports more storage devices than any other
backup software available for the Mac OS. Hard disk drives, Apple CD-RW
drives, CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drives, SuperDrives and other writable and
rewritable DVD drives, tape drives and libraries, and removable cartridge
drives are all supported by version 5.0.
