I just started a job where we exclusively use BRU for all our tape backups. It is _definitely_ worth the money. I am not used to paying for software, but I would feel good about spending money on this one. I think my boss said it was around a few hundred dollars... I haven't looked myself. I find it very easy to use and it makes it very easy to verify the backups you make. All you have to do is spend an afternoon reading the manual and play around with it and you should become very comfortable with it. I don't have any experience with any other commercial backup software, but compared to tar, I would definitely recommend it. It can do backups both of filesystems and of raw partitions. Hope that helps :) Jacob Martinson ----Original Message Follows---- From: Marc Dodsworth To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: BRU Backup software Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 17:04:44 +1030 Hi I've been thing of ordering the BRU backup software from FreeBSD Mall. Has anyone had any expeirnece or recommendations for or against this course of actions? I know there is tar/restore/dump etc but I'd prefer something a bit easier (I'm sure real sysadmins use tar etc :-) Thankx Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
