I use BRU 15.0 on my main personal server.  It has a few good features, but I
mostly use it as a "better tar" -- commandline from a script I wrote a few
years ago.  It handles errors on tape a lot better than tar which is why I
use it...  (if a block is unreadable, only that file is affected not the
whole archive, the archive is read-tested after writing, etc.)
