Product Description:

BRU LE for Mac OS X provides backup and restore for Mac systems under Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4. SCSI, SAS, Fibre-Channel, Firewire, and USB tape drives (single drive) and autoloaders (up to 10 slots) are fully supported. Additionally, disk-based files may be created allowing the use of removable MO or disk drives.

BRU LE for Mac OS X is based upon our BRU 17.0 I/O engine (available in the Unix world since 1985) and includes all of the features of the command line BRU product available on Unix systems. BRU LE is fully 64 bit compatible (since 1992) and supports single file sizes greater than 2GB and filesystems and single archives up to 16 exabytes.


  • Supports all OS X file types, including CFM/PEF and Mach-O binaries, Resource forks, Finder Info, and case-sensitive filenames under the HFS+ filesystems.
  • Backup and restore of all Unix permissions.
  • Supports archives that exceed one terabyte (1TB) and do not have a limit on the size of catalog that can be created.
  • Properly accesses and processes filesystems larger than 1TB.
  • Not dependent upon disk-based information, such as "save sets", for restores.
  • Supports full backup of live systems.
  • Provides "Smart Restore" which allows you to restore a backup to a live system without crashing the system.
  • Automatically verifies backups using AUTOSCAN Verify - an out-of-band verification process that allows reduced backup window requirements.

In addition to the graphical application, all of the command line and scripting functionality is still included at no additional cost.

What's new in this version:

  • Added setting to support 1MB Tape I/O buffer sizes for LTO-3 and LTO-4 tape drives when backing up large media files (5MB+ each) such as WAV, MP3, M4A, MOV, and others.
  • Fixed issue with the handling of paths with special characters and double spaces.
  • Fixed an issue that would confuse the tape manager if you verified a disk backup and then tried to verify a tape backup.
  • Fixed an issue that that mixed up disk file names if you performed multiple disk-based backups, but selected the Tape option and then reselected the Disk option between backups.

Guys, please at least read what application does, what it is intended for and don't show yourself funny comparing it to great end user applications like SuperDuper.

This is for enterprise class backup systems. SCSI based Tape, libraries, off site (via network) backup etc.

It has nothing to do with Super Duper or anything else. I am sure the author of SuperDuper or Carbon Copy cloner will agree.

To give a clue about how old, time tested and mature program this is: I used it on Amiga to backup some video toaster production data back in 1992 or something.

I've been using v1.2.8 for a couple of weeks now with an Exabyte Magnum 1x7 LTO-3 tape library to back up an Xserve and Xserve RAID. It was not as intuitive as I had hoped, but phone support has been excellent. They walked me through some minor issues that I had trouble with and the software runs great. There are some features that I'd like to see included in future updates or upgrades though. For Mac users, I would recommend this software if your need requires control of a tape library device or even a stand-alone tape drive. For bootable drive backups, I use Super Duper! and am very pleased with that as well. tmv
