TOLIS Group, Inc., is a privately held profitable and debt-free corporation headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The singular focus of TOLIS Group is the development and support of ultra-reliable data backup, restore, and archival solutions for end-users and OEMs based on TOLIS Group's proven BRU technology. The genesis of BRU in 1985 as a commercially available tool was driven by the inability of popular tar-based operations to reliably backup and restore archives on Unix systems. The mandate of BRU's design was to return the most data possible during a restore, limited only by physical damage. In January of 2005 TOLIS Group announced its bruAPP Backup Appliance solution. bruAPP is a data backup and restore-focused appliance that delivers the industry's first truly "server-less" backup services across client/server system topologies. The bruAPP Backup Appliance virtually eliminates the configuration, installation, and compatibility issues faced when designing and building a data backup system. In January of 2010, TOLIS Group entered further into the hardware market providing one stop shopping and support for tape and BRU software bundled offerings. In 2018 TOLIS Group will enter the Windows market with BRU Producer's Edition for Windows, and enhanced offerings to it's bruAPP Backup Appliance for the Windows user.
