BRU Server Description

A client/server backup and restore system. BRU Server is a native OS X client/server backup tool. Based on the venerable BRU backup engine known for its reliability, BRU Server supports two networked systems to the largest of client/server topologies. Client software is available to provide heterogeneous platform support. BRU Server properly backs up and restores all OS X filesystem attributes.BRU solutions have been the high water mark of reliable UNIX backup for 18+ years, and Mac OS X users can now benefit from this experience. Here are some key features of "BRU Server": Operational: · Native Mac OS X client/server backup software. · Supports Mac OS X and OS X Server 10.3 and newer. · Supports disk-to-disk, disk-to-tape, and disk-to-disk-to-tape backup strategies. · Straightforward installation; client systems and tape devices are automatically recognized and configured. · Intuitive user interface that adheres to the Aqua interface standard provides point-and-click operation to the rich feature set. · Fully scriptable from the command line. · Character-based and graphical management consoles provide local and remote control. · Headless backup and restore operations can be managed via telnet or ssh sessions. · Flexibility to define how the backup operation should be performed because very few sites have the same backup requirements. · Remote log-in and administration. Performance: · Industry's shortest backup window (fully verified backups) by using Data Staging and out-of-band (Anytime Verify) data verification. · Low overhead allows multiple BRU processes to write to multiple storage devices simultaneously with very little impact on system performance. · Pulls data off Xserve RAID (2GB/Fibre) in excess of 130 MB/second. · The most modern tape drives can be streamed. · Intelligent cataloguing provides a powerful query capability to quickly recover select files contained on tape. · Client system backups are not interleaved, thereby further shortening the time to restore selected files. Reliability: · Ultra-reliable BRU engine delivers industry-leading data protection reliability and ultimate restorability of the protected data. · Backups can be 100% verified without access to the original filesystems. · Anytime Verify and Inspect Mode backup verification options can be run as an out-of-band process, freeing up the server faster. · Broad compatibility - backups can be verified on a different system, and even on a different platform. · Backups can be committed to a disk staging area at primary storage subsystem performance levels - virtually eliminating perceived backup windows at the client system level. · Proven data restorability of BRU technology - corrupt data is reported, circumvented, and the restore continues unless the tape drive is physically unable to proceed. · Catalogs copied to tape in addition to the server HDD to provide enhanced availability to backup data should the server system HDD fail. Functionality: · Highly scalable. · Protects data on systems intermittently-attached to the network. · Provides broadest Mac OS X tape library support available. · Lights-out, automated backup operations are scheduled from the user interface. · Full support for mach-o or CFM single file binaries and their resource fork and finder information, as well as full UNIX-based compatibility. · Handles files and permissions skipped by other Mac OS X backup utilities. · Properly backs up so-called "open files" under Mac OS X. · Full support of case sensitivity under the HFS+ filesystem. · Fully compatible with Panther's FileVault feature. · Single archives of any size can be created. · There is no limitation to the size of the catalogs. · Data can be restored from any BRU backup data set without dependence on any special files contained on the server hard disk. · Transport layer agnostic - whether Fibre Channel, SCSI, iSCSI, Gigabit Ethernet, Wireless LAN, etc. · Provides data backup and restore services within NAS, SAN and wireless environments. · QFA (Quick File Access) provides fast access to files contained on tape. · Client system data is not interleaved with other client system data. · Client-side data encryption provides secure communication between client systems and the server. · Network traffic data compression is configurable and can provide better utilization of available network bandwidth. · Pre and post scripts may be run on a client system to freeze the state of a database running on that machine or export its state to an intermediate file. · Files and directories can be excluded from the backup from the client system (excluding mp3 files, for example). · E-mail notification of all operations including interact requirements and job status. · Server is localization friendly. · Integrates with Apple's Xsan technology. Requirements: · Minimum Requirements: G3 500Mhz or better Processor; Recommended: 1 GHz G4. · Minimum Requirements: 256 MB RAM; Recommended: 512MB RAM. · Minimum Requirements: All transport layers are supported (SCSI, Fibre-Channel, USB, and Firewire). · Recommended System: ATTO Technologies UL3 or UL4 SCSI HBA (for SCSI Tapes/Libraries). · Recommended System: ATTO Technologies Celerity FC HBA (for Fibre-Channel Tapes/Libraries) or a FC switch if using Apple FC HBA. · Recommended System: BRU Server, 55 MB of disk for full install (server software, user interface, server agent). · Recommended System: 15 MB of disk on client systems. · Recommended System: 3 MB of disk space for catalogs on the server per 100,000 files backed up. · Recommended System: Disk staging: disk requirement defined by administrator. · Network Requirements: BRU Server requires ports 14441 to 14450 open for bi-directional TCP traffic. Limitations: · 30 days trial period. What's New in This Release: · Fixes Config tool login authentication issues on OS X Snow Leopard · Now uses launchd for startup at system boot for Tiger through Snow Leopard (StartupItems is still used on 10.3.9) · Is now fully compatible with Full Keyboard Access on OS X and Linux · Resolves possible issue with saving license information · Resolves an issue that caused the server daemon to not restart after a hardware scan if the daemon was running when you elected to perform the scan.
