21/07/2009 - BRU Server version 2.0 for MacOSX Now Available
TOLIS GROUP ANNOUNCES THEIR NEW BRU SERVER 2.0 BACKUP SOFTWARE
The Easiest and Most Advanced BRU Server Ever
Scottsdale, AZ – July 21, 2009 – TOLIS Group, Inc. today announces the immediate availability of the new BRU Server 2.0 network backup solution that represents an unparalleled upgrade to the BRU Server line. Packed with new features, the more responsive, more flexible, more user friendly product is available to support networks of Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris and many other Unix-platform systems. Enhanced functionality is delivered across multiple platforms.
Major enhancements include the totally redesigned BRU Server Management GUI which is identical in functionality on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux systems, brand new client-level user initiated backup and restore functions that do not require administrator intervention, an optional blazingly fast Encryption Module add-on for encrypted backups using any archival hardware, new BRU Server hardware bundles that provide all the software and hardware needed for any size network backup, full support of a 100% Windows environment with the BRU Server bruAPP Backup Appliance, and much more!
“We have strived to provide new features as requested by our customers both large and small,” said Tim Jones, President and CTO. “Client initiated backup and restore was the number one request for desktop systems. We’re also very excited by the addition of our software based encryption which allows for the creation of secure archives using any archival device rather than only the latest tape hardware.”
Archives are still backwards compatible with all previous BRU Server versions, and as with previous versions, are also recoverable by any BRU product, on any platform BRU supports. The BRU Server 2.0 license once purchased may be used into perpetuity, regardless of the amount of data being protected. BRU Server 2.0 continues its support of D2D, D2D2T and D2T scenarios utilizing SAS, SCSI, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, USB or Firewire devices of any size.
BRU Server 2.0 is available in 3 base configurations that can be tailored to fit any size environment. Pricing starts at $599USD and BRU Server customers with current support plans will be upgraded to the new version at no additional cost.
BRU Server is the flagship product in TOLIS Group’s family of backup and archival solutions including: bruAPP Backup Appliance, bruCLONE Mac OS X cloning and system disaster recovery, BRU Producer’s Edition (PE), BRU LE, BRU Workstation and BRU Desktop.
We are pleased to announce the availability of BRU Server 2.0, a major upgrade to the BRU Server line of products. Totally refreshed from head (new BRU 18.0 I/O engine) to toe (re-designed graphical
interface) and in between, BRU Server 2.0 retains its reliability heritage while adding exciting new functionality.
VERY IMPORTANT - BRU Server 2.0 implements a completely new licensing scheme which is incompatible with version 1.2. Before you download version 2.0 to update a 1.2 installation, you must verify your eligibility to be upgraded to 2.0 for free and receive the new 2.0 license. In order to verify your eligibility and receive your 2.0 license, you must submit your email address and BRU Server 1.2 serial number to: brusales@tolisgroup.com.
If you do not request your 2.0 license, the 2.0 installation will run in demo mode for 30 days.
VERY IMPORTANT - Additionally, the datatable schema has changed between version 1.2 and 2.0. Before attempting to upgrade a 1.2 system to 2.0, it is imperative that you follow the instructions in Appendix C of the BRU Server Admin Guide. Failure to create this backup of your server environment will make it impossible for you to go back to version 1.2 after you have updated to version 2.0. The TOLIS Group support team has no way of returning your updated 2.0 datatables to the old format.
Completely refreshed from head (new BRU 18.0 I/O engine) to toe (re-designed graphical interface) and in between, BRU Server 2.0 retains its unparalleled reliability heritage while adding exciting new functionality.
