In a computing systems environment with multiple systems this includes the ability of products, systems and business processes to work together to accomplish a common task such as finding and and workflow. Also announced is functionality that allows users to sync their key data to the server much like a PDA/desktop scenario. A system administrator's job is complex, and the requirement to protect critical data across the organization can be daunting daunt tr.v. daunt·ed, daunt·ing, daunts To abate the courage of; discourage. See Synonyms at dismay. [Middle English daunten, from Old French danter, from Latin . As Mac OS X is increasingly being implemented across larger organizations, increased workloads on computing resources, especially the administrator, beg the availability of easy-to-use applications that are robust and deliver improved workflows. "We have produced a graphical interface See GUI. that enhances BRU Server's ease-of-operability to the point that non-backup literate administrators can easily protect data across the largest of organizations," said Tim Jones William Timothy Jones (born December 1, 1962, in Sumter, South Carolina) was a Major League Baseball infielder. He is an alumnus of The Citadel. Drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2nd round of the 1985 MLB amateur draft, Jones would make his Major League Baseball , president of TOLIS Group. Much like following a map to reach a destination in a logical flow, the new BRU Server interface presents its information and choices to the user in a clear and concise manner that is easy to understand and follow. "Mac OS X is a modern operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. that delivers the power of UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). with the reliability, ease-of-use and elegance of the Macintosh," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "With BRU Server for Mac OS X TOLIS Group has demonstrated its ability to produce reliable data protection solutions for Mac OS X." BRU Server's Synchronization Module will be used in conjunction with BRU Server's robust Disk Staging Disk staging is using disks as an additional, temporary stage of backup process before finally storing backup to tape. Backups stay on disk typically for a day or a week, before being copied to tape in a background process and deleted afterwards. (D2D (Disk-to-Disk) Typically refers to backing up data on disks rather than on tape. Disk-to-disk backup systems provide a very fast restore capability compared with tape backup. See D2D2T and virtual tape. ) capability, and allows an administrator to segment a portion of the disk stage as a repository to which end users can back up (sync) and restore his or her own files without backup administrator action.

The synchronization tool is a complement to the normal backup strategy and off loads the requirement to continually restore files "yesterday," as typically demanded by impatient users who have lost their information. BRU Server for Mac OS X users covered under TOLIS' extended technical support agreement will be upgraded to v1.1 at no cost. The Synchronization Module, available in Q3 2004, will be a standard inclusion in BRU Server Enterprise version, and an option for use with BRU Server Network or BRU Server Basic when incremental client system support has been added. Scaling from support of two networked systems to support across an enterprise, BRU Server 1.1 takes Mac OS X data protection to a new level. About TOLIS Group Inc.
