iWork/iLife Documents 2008 and Retrospect

I originally posted this at http://www.318.com/TechJournal

iWork ‘08 applications (Keynote, Numbers, Pages) and iLife ‘08 components including iPhoto, iTunes, Garage Band have a slight issue with Retrospect – their data files are not considered documents using the Documents Selector. Now in the case of iPhoto, iTunes and Garage Band this is probably a good thing. However, for Keynote, Numbers and Pages it’s more than likely that if you’re using these then you will want Retrospect to back them up. So if you are using selectors and you are using the Documents selector then check out this Knowledgebase article from EMC/Dantz:
