I wish they would make this more clear in the Knowledgebase Article!
--snip--
"Retrospect is not able to autolaunch at the Panther login screen. Computers left at the login screen can be successfully backed up with the Retrospect client software."
--snip--

To me, this means that if your computer is at the Panther login screen ONLY THEN will Retrospect not autolaunch, but it WILL autolaunch under normal conditions. This is NOT TRUE! They should say the following...

Autolaunch is COMPLETELY broken & you must have Retrospect open at all times for scheduled backups!

I'm angry because I read this & upgraded from 5.0.x to 5.1 thinking it was fixed in the new version. Had I known this I would have waited to upgrade.
