BRU LIGHT EDITION™ FROM TOLIS GROUP DELIVERS RELIABLE BACKUP ON STANDALONE MAC OS X® SYSTEMS

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona - February 23, 2004 - TOLIS Group today announces the availability of BRU LE™ for Mac OS X® to provide ultra-reliable data backup and recovery services on standalone Mac OS X systems. Any PowerPC® based G3, G4, or G5 system capable of running Mac OS X is supported by BRU LE.

"The pervasiveness of the support that Apple systems provide continues to impress us since engaging in the OS X market," says Tim Jones, president of TOLIS Group. "People are doing incredibly intriguing work on their standalone systems, and the need to protect that work is equally as important as the data contained on networked systems in large organizations. BRU LE to the rescue."

Based on the venerable BRU™ engine that has protected the data on Unix systems for over 18 years, BRU LE can be operated from the Aqua compliant graphical interface, or from the command line for more customized operation. BRU LE properly backs up and restores all OS X filesystems attributes.

BRU LE for Mac OS X writes to disk-based files (D2D), and supports a breadth of target devices include those that are FireWire and USB-connected as well as all tape drive technology regardless of format. BRU LE also supports any SCSI or Fibre Channel-connected autoloader containing a single tape drive and up to ten cartridge slots. Support for Apple's SuperDrive is under development and will be provided free of charge to BRU LE customers when it becomes available.

Tapes created by BRU LE are fully compatible with BRU Server for Mac OS X, TOLIS' client/server backup solution. Should the need arise; an easy migration path from BRU LE to BRU Server is available.

BRU LE for Mac OS X is available immediately and is priced at $129. A choice of cost-effective technical support agreements is available to provide expert technical support and free updates.
