BRU-PRO BY THE TOLIS GROUP CITED BEST LINUX BACKUP SOLUTION BY THE EDITORS OF LINUX JOURNAL FOR 2001

BRU-Pro is the robust backup solution for larger Linux networks that delivers the data verified reliability of proven BRU technology while providing high levels of automation. BRU-Pro automatically recognizes and configures network clients and tape devices, and its native SCSI tape library support negates the need for the costly add-ins associated with competitive products.

TOLIS acquired the rights to the BRU technology in July of this year. To quote the Linux Journal, "We thought we had lost BRU to corporate shenanigans, but thankfully longtime BRUmeister Tim Jones, formerly development VP of BRU's original vendor EST, saved the old-school backup workhorse and is offering it under the TOLIS Group brand name." This award by the Linux Journal affirms the product plans in place at TOLIS are on the inside track as TOLIS continues the development of BRU-Pro and its other solutions.

"We benefit from the fact that our engineers have the abilities of consummate system and network administrators as well as being excellent developers, and this strength is reflected in the BRU-Pro product," said Bob Christ, executive vice president of the TOLIS Group. "Our data reliability is unsurpassed. Layer in functionality that eases the load of a SysAdmin and you have a product that is judged to be superior."
