Leadership Data Protection - BRU Server for Linux is a robust backup and restore utility that protects critical client/server information on one or two systems, or across an organization regardless of size. Based on the venerable BRU engine, BRU Server for Linux sets the backup industry's high water mark for reliability, data recoverability, speed and efficiency while protecting data on networked systems served by a Linux server system.

Backup, Your Way - No two organizations are alike, nor have the same requirements of a backup system other than the requirement of reliability. BRU Server for Linux provides the flexibility to administer the backup strategy via the intuitive graphical user interface, or by using the character-based interface. BRU Server is also fully scriptable from the command line. These interfaces provide access to BRU Server's robust functionality, and backups can be administered locally or remotely.

Shortest Backup Window - The time available (the backup window) to protect critical data is fast shrinking, and this poses a challenge to system administrators. BRU Server for Linux allows data to be committed directly to tape (the traditional approach) or can it can be "staged" in a centralized disk farm attached to the server to virtually eliminate the perceived backup window at the client system level.

The combination of BRU's low overhead/high throughput, writing to interim disk (D2D), and BRU's industry unique ability to verify backups without continued access to the original data delivers the IT industry's shortest, 100% data-verified backup window.

Support of Regulatory Governance - The number of government regulations worldwide that mandate the treatment of an organization's data is approaching 10,000 in number. If your organization does not fall under governance today, it probably will in the future. BRU Server delivers the data availability, auditability, integrity, accuracy, privacy and security characteristics necessary to support compliance to the regulations .

Investment Protection - BRU Server delivers immediate investment protection because there is no requirement to install a new backup server or special disk-based virtual tape (VTL) technology. BRU Server's overhead is exceptionally low and can actually time-share with other server applications. Depending on one's network system topology, BRU Server will consume only 8% - 20% of a system's resources during backup/restore operations - allowing the majority of system resources to perform other tasks concurrently. Of course, a dedicated backup system is ideal, and a P3 500MHz system with 512MB of RAM will support 100's of client systems across the network.

BRU Server also delivers current and future tape investment protection. Out-of-the-box, BRU Server provides native support of all tape formats and all tape library configurations. Because of TOLIS' partnership with tape device manufacturers, we have early access to future tape technology. This access assures you of BRU's reliable support before the new technologies hit the streets. And all this is accomplished without the necessity of costly special drivers, additional hardware, or specially tasked systems.

BRU Server's licensing policies provide additional investment protection. Additional "Servers" on the network are treated as client systems, and do not require a Server-class license. And client system licenses are attached to the seat - not to a particular system platform. Changing a client system from one OS to another does not require an additional license purchase, simply download the appropriate agent from our website.

Bottom Line - Your organization's data is critical, and how to protect it is an important decision. BRU Server for Linux delivers the reliability, functionality, flexibility, scalability and overall excellent value necessary to provide you with backup peace-of-mind.
