BRU Producer's Edition 2.1.0 Read Me Notes

New Features for BRU PE 2.1.0

• Creation of a BRUsetta Stone CD/DVD after a backup or archival job completes. The BRUsetta Stone disk is like the original Rosetta Stone in that it will contain all of the information a user would need to import and restore the tapes associated with the disk. It includes the PDF version of the catalogs, the actual tape and archive information for essay importing into a different BRU PE system, and even a copy of the BRU PE Universal Binary installation DMG. You are also allowed to add custom files and data to the disk image before it is burned to CD or DVD. Note that you must keep a copy of your BRU PE Installer DMG available to include on the CD/DVD.
• Printing of a job's catalog and status when a job completes. The report supports the assignment of a custom cover image. You may also select an archive in the Restore panel and print the catalog and archive details for any existing archive on your system.
• Creation of a sharable catalog collection to enable simplified addition of archives and tape media between multiple BRU PE installations. This allows all associated BRU PE system to have the details for all archives and tapes for easier recovery of data if the original system is not available for a restore job.
• Option to supply operator-defined job information, or metadata. The metadata provides four subject areas and each subject may contain any textual data up to 10,000 characters in length. The metadata will be saved with the archive or backup information and included in exported catalog info or on the BRUsetta Stone CD/DVD.
• Improved Toolbar layout and operation in both QuickArchive and Advanced View modes.
• Improved control flow when using tab between controls when full keyboard access is enabled.
• Improved the backup progress windows to display the current path and file as separate lines for more useful display of what was currently being processed.
• Added a "Last Run" indicator on the Advanced View pane for selected jobs.
• Updated Final Cut Pro session parsing to include both FCP 8 native and XML session formats.
• Removed predefined path buttons from QuickArchive view mode. the largest majority of users were not using them. And the number of support calls generated indicated that they were more confusing that useful since populating the backup selection is as easy as drag and drop from the users' desktop.

We would like to thank all of the users that have submitted their feature requests and feedback on BRU PE for the ideas of many of the above additions.
