Yes. It does. Since it has both the X interface, and the command line
software, you can cron a job with the command line.

Well, that's my delimma - I need to run this on a scheduler. A long
time ago, I used a tool that was bundled with the original Caldera
"Network Desktop" dist (Linux 1.2.13), but since those days, I've gone
to a script I wrote that basically uses mt, find and tar to do full and
incremental backups, with options to append of overwrite the tape. I
would like something a little more reliable than tar though, that can
also do data verification, so I know when a tape is going bad.

Hmmm. Do you know if BRU's Personal Edition can do scheduling? I know
it lacks some of the other features of the full BRU, but I don't have a
need for network backups - just reliable backups with verification, for
the local system, that I can schedule.
Thanks!
