The BRU software looks quite OK for me

We use Bru with an Exabyte LTO3 library and it works fine in backing up other servers. You don't mention what you are backing up, but currently it wouldn't work as well in a lot of laptop scenarios. It wants a schedule for when to run a backup. If the machine isn't available then you've missed it until the next schedule. There's no concept of backing up on a schedule or the next time you see it available after the scheduled time.


Bru is very scriptable, so you could probably write something to accomplish this, but out of the box it won't do it now. This has been promised with the next release, but that release has been promised for quite some time.

I believe they have a free demo for a month. I'd try it and see if it works for you.

Good luck,
Ware
