BRU SERVER™ 1.1.0 FOR MAC OS X® DATA BACKUP FROM TOLIS GROUP DELIVERS ENHANCED WORKFLOW AND SYNCHRONIZATION MODULE

Heightened ease-of-use and alleviating an administrator's workload highlight the enhancements shown at WWDC in San Francisco

WWDC 2004, San Francisco - June 28, 2004 - TOLIS Group, Inc., developer of the ultra-reliable BRU brand of data protection solutions, today announces the immediate availability of BRU Server for Mac OS X 1.1 that delivers enhanced operability and workflow. Also announced is functionality that allows users to sync their key data to the server much like a PDA/Desktop scenario.

A system administrator's job is complex, and the requirement to protect critical data across the organization can be daunting. As Mac OS X is increasingly being implemented across larger organizations, increased workloads on computing resources, especially the administrator, beg the availability of easy-to-use applications that are robust and deliver improved workflows.

"We have produced a graphical interface that enhances BRU Server's ease-of-operability to the point that non-backup literate administrators can easily protect data across the largest of organizations," said Tim Jones, president of TOLIS Group.

Much like following a map to reach a destination in a logical flow, the new BRU Server interface presents its information and choices to the user in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand and follow.

"Mac OS X is a modern operating system that delivers the power of Unix with the reliability, ease-of-use and elegance of the Macintosh," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "With BRU Server for Mac OS X TOLIS Group has demonstrated its ability to produce reliable data protection solutions for Mac OS X."

BRU Server's Synchronization Module will be used in conjunction with BRU Server's robust Disk Staging (D2D) capability, and allows an administrator to segment a portion of the disk stage as a repository to which end-users can backup (sync) and restore his or her own files without backup administrator action.

The administrator defines which end-users are granted permission to sync their files, and the disk capacity allotted to each of them - dependent upon the nature of their data, whether textual or audio/graphical works of art. The synchronization tool is a complement to the normal backup strategy and offloads the requirement to continually restore files "yesterday," as typically demanded by impatient users who have lost their information.

BRU Server for Mac OS X users covered under TOLIS' extended technical support agreement will be upgraded to v1.1 at no cost. The Synchronization Module, available in Q3, 2004, will be a standard inclusion in BRU Server Enterprise version, and an option for use with BRU Server Network or BRU Server Basic when incremental client system support has been added.

Scaling from support of two networked systems to support across an enterprise, BRU Server 1.1 takes Mac OS X data protection to a new level.
