Yes, I assumed you were talking about a local spool file and a remote
pop site. If this is not the case then use something like:
(setq vm-spool-files

I also have a sample .vm file I can make available to you to get

First is your mail being spooled by something like fetchmail already
to the mailbox /tmp/mbox ? If not try something like:
(setq vm-spool-files '("/var/spool/mail/LOGINNAME"
"ISP.DOMAIN:110:pass:LOGINNAME:PASSWORD"))
Of course change:
First LOGINNAME to your local loginname
ISP.DOMAIN to your ISP
Second LOGINNAME to your ISP loginname
This will use POP that is built into VM to retrieve your mail.

Re: time problems
This is a known problem and redhat needs to fix. Its a problem with Glibc and should be fixed sometime in the future. For the present why not just create a simple shell script to startup BRU in which you set the TZ=*DT then when it finishes set TZ= to reset the TZ. Or just open a shell and do this: export TZ=*DT xbru then when it finishes export TZ= Kludgy, but should work for now.

No, I installed from source although there was a rpm floating around.

This package is not meant for the single user, just a little too much for that. I choose Amanda over BRU since it is free, and BRU's network package is about $300 last time I looked and I guess I am just too cheap to pay that much for a network backup system since Amanda works just fine for me. IMHO Amanda will do everything that BRU will do and more, except for the nice error checking that BRU has. Amanda will use any of these to backup - Dump, Tar, Cpio, I use dump and amrestore and have never had a moments problem with it once it was setup. You have to label your tapes using amlabel and then rotate thru them, it can also be setup to use tape changers although I have not used that for a long time now.

Well I wouldn't call it harsh, its just a little more complicated than Microsoft stuff, since you have total flexability and get the sources of all the programs. Now, one of the best places to start reading, is to go to the LDP, at: http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/ Then my best recommendation is to purchase some books, preferably O'Reilly books, such as Unix in a Nutshell, which has all the basic commands and others as you find you want to do more.
