Protect Your Data With BRU

Have you ever experienced aborted restores? The primary reason that data cannot be recovered is simple - the backup was not good.

Using BRU, you'll know upfront the status of the backup - not when the data is needed the most at a critical time later. BRU employs mechanisms that allow you to verify the accuracy of the backup, either immediately following the backup, or off-line to shorten the backup window. You can even verify your backups on a different system! Knowing your backup is accurate provides peace-of-mind that you can successfully recover your data.

After the backup has been verified and is archived, data bits can still become corrupt. BRU comes to the rescue again. Should bad data be detected during a restore, BRU attempts to re-read it. If unreadable after multiple passes (user defined), BRU reports the error location, advances the tape, and continues to read until good data is found. BRU then continues the recovery, returning the maximum amount of data without summarily aborting the recovery process like other backup applications.
