BRU LE 1.3.3 Released

Size: 15MB

We are pleased to announce that BRU LE 1.3.3 is now available.

An issue has been reported with the placement of disk-based archives created using the BRU LE's QuickBackup view.  The archive file was written into the default backup path (in Preferences) regardless of the path applied in the filename field.  Normally, you can simply enter a file name without a path and the file is written into your default path preference.  However, if you supply a fully qualified path - such as "/Volumes/Firewire 1/Backups/MySpecialBackup" - the file would be written into the default path instead of the supplied path.  This issue does not affect your backups if you use the Advanced view or perform backups via a scheduled job.

• If you backup to disk using the QuickBackup view method, this is a mandatory update.
• If you backup to disk using the Advanced view or via scheduled operations, this update is suggested.
• If you backup to tape, as there is no impact on tape backups, this update is optional.

We are pleased to announce that BRU LE 1.3.2 is now available. The redesigned primary interface released in 1.3.1 delivers significantly improved workflow and a more concise method for day-to-day backup operations is achieved through the improved QuickBackup option.

The BRU I/O engine has been updated to 17.1 variant 0.1.15 for use on Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5 systems to enable the complete and proper processing of Access Control Lists (ACL's) and Extended Attributes (EA's). The 17.1 engine is now used on 10.3.9 systems.

Version 1.3.2 delivers improved user interfaced display compatibility with Leopard systems, and the load speed of the restore list on larger archives has been dramatically increased.

It is our pleasure to inform you that Apple has released Mac OS X 10.4.11 client and server updates. This update fixes a large number of reported tape-based I/O issues as well as many other issues as described in the Apple release notes.

BRU LE v1.3.0d Schedule Overwrite Update

Download
Download

Size: 8.0KB

If you have chosen to have BRU LE overwrite disk archives, you may have found that when the backup job was scheduled, the disk archives were not overwritten and additional archives are being retained with the date stamp as part of the filename. This patch corrects this issue by retaining the original filename without the time stamp, thus overwriting the previous disk-based archives of scheduled backup jobs if an archive of the same name already exists.

This patch can be applied using the TOLIS Group Updater update tool.

This patch is to be installed on systems running BRU LE v1.3.0d only. Updating to BRU LE v1.3.1 or higher resolves this problem.
