Login Screen
This is the GUI based console screen that is presented to the user where they
enter their username and password to log into the BRU server.
|
Backup Job Definintions
After the user logs in, the first screen that is seen is the 'backup jobs'
screen. This is where you can setup the remote machines (that are loaded with
the BRU agent), down to individual files. For this example we are setting up a daily backup job that
will be backing up
all drives on a Windows 2003 Server to a staging drive defined on the backup server.

|
BRU Server Monitor Screen
Once the Backup Job has been defined and run, the monitor screen will appear allowing you to view
the current status / errors etc for this job in realtime.
|
Staging Facility
BRU offers an excellent function known as 'staging'. This allows the user to backup everything
from complete jobs to individual files to a 'staging area'. For this example we used a 120Gb IDE drive
mounted on the BRU Slackware Server as /staging. All backups were sent directly to this 'stage drive'

|
Database Options
As you can see from this screen shot, BRU has the ability to run multiple jobs concurrently. (eg backup
multiple servers to a staging drive at the same time.) The Database screen also gives the opportunity
to import tapes, define the Upstage Job as well as various other tasks.
|
Upstage Job Monitor
Just as we saw on the Job Monitor screen capture, BRU can also monitor the Upstage Job backup to the
final destination. Where all defined backups are sent to the final archival device and removed from
the staging area.
|
|
User Database
BRU allows you to define multiple users. the advantage of this is that users can have allocated
stage directory size limits so that they dont fill drives.
|
Data Manager
This area enables you to view past jobs and their histories, as well as all archival information
that has occurred.
|
|
Restore
And what good is Backup software if you cant restore!. Here agin you can simply point and click,
choose alternate destinations or devices. How much easier can you get!
