No disagreement from me. I couldn't even guarantee another version of Bru could be found on Ebay, much less one that works across a network. But it might be worth a look. There's also one I used for awhile called Arkeia. It was free. Alas, while I had it setup great on an initial installation, including networking, after a reinstall the subsequent setup didn't work out as well. Might have been because I shuffled some SCSI things around. I may or may not have changed the tape drive then, too, because I did change it sometime during that same period. BTW, it's graphical for those wanting that interface. A plus. But might be a minus if needing to do recovery after a crash, or doing a server with no desktop. On a small network Bru Personal can still be made to work through shared resources and the like. I don't think I'd even attempt it on anything larger than 2 or 3 machines. -- I can't remember if I'm the good twin or the evil one. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
