    I received a copy of the manual page for the backup system bru. It
appears to be exactly what we require for doing backups on our machine.
  There is though a couple of questions that I would like answered about it.
1. If you backup the whole system onto 7 tapes and you want to recover a file on
   the seventh tape, do you have to read in the whole 7 tapes in order to reco-
   ver the file, or can you just mount the last tape and recover from it?
2. Is the program machine dependant or will it run on any machine? (our machine
   is a GEC 63 -40 running AT&T unix system v release2.0 )
3. How much does the bru backup system cost ?
4. Who distributes the software and where can I get hold of a copy of it.

Hoping to hear from someone soon,
