A while ago I posted a request for a better backup system for our Unix box. Fred Fish, from EST software in Tempe AZ contacted me and told me of a product of theirs called BRU (backup and restore utility). After a 30 day free trial period, I decided to make it our permanent backup system. The price was reasonable, and the service, attention and help we got were very good. The people from EST were very understanding to us newcomers to the UNIX world. The program offers many features and efficiencies not available on any of the built in Unix backup and restore functions, and it cut our system backup time from 6 hours down to only 2!!! (Being in charge of weekly backups here, I loved that part the best!) The program is available for a very large number of systems and configurations. It is very easily tailored to any configuration. We at Carroll are very happy with the program and I'd just like to let people who are sick of cpio, tar, etc that there is an option out there worth looking into.
