The Tolis Group announced the release of BRU LE version 1.3.1 on Thursday. The update features a re-designed user interface for a better workflow experience, 100 percent coverage of Mac OS X file system attributes, and more.

The highlights of the new version include:

  • Universal Binary support for full compatibility on Intel & PPC machines.
  • Re-designed Primary interface delivers significantly improved ease-of-use .
  • 100% Coverage of all Mac OS X filesystem attributes.
  • Complete and proper processing of Access Control Lists (ACL's) and Extended Attributes (EA's) on Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5 systems.
  • Improved user interface display compatibility with Leopard systems.
  • Performs full, incremental and differential backups.
  • Backs up to hard disk archives (D2D).
  • Support single tape drives and tape autoloaders with a single drive and up to 10 slots (D2T).
  • "QuickBackup" mode allows for fast drag-and-drop backups of files, folders, and volumes.
  • Multi-threaded design allows for I/O operations to run at the speed of devices involved.

"BRU LE is designed to support a traditional desktop environment where a user's data does not exceed approximately 100,000 files and is limited to the disk provided with the desktop system or an attached FireWire or USB drive," according to the Tolis Group.

They still haven't updated their Pro version of this app in over 2 years. It is still on 1.2.0m with known bugs.

In more related news.. Retrospect is said to be working on a brand new version of their mac products (finally). http://www.macobserver.com/article/2008/01/22.11.shtml

Just an FYI, TOLIS Group has released v1.3.3.
BRU LE v1.3.3 was released on 3/17/08: http://knowledgebase.tolisgroup.com/?View=entry&EntryID=147.

As for the new Retrospect version, you aren't talking about the client app that they released at MacWorld are you? That was the version believed to have been a new Retrospect itself when in reality it was just an updated client version that supported Leopard for the Windows Server version of Retrospect.
