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.

BRU LE not for simple backups - equitek
I have, and it's still not as straight forward as it could be. I've only run the 30 day evaluation however. Retrospect it much better designed from an interface point of view, but of course Retrospect is so unreliable these days as to be laughable IMHO. BRU has never failed in the 30 days I've tested it and works well, it's just an interface nightmare.Sunday, March 25 2007 @ 11:40 AM PDT

Please update to 1.3.0 and I believe that your opinion of the product's complexity will change drastically.Reply to This
