I've just been setting up BRU 16.0 to backup a small network (5 hosts), and
though you've got to write your own glue script, it is network aware,
using either rsh or ssh and rmt to access the remote device. The
example given uses rsh, and asks you to create a .rhosts file for root,
so after i finished laughing, I set up ssh for a backup user.
There's tons of documentation on their website: http://www.estinc.com
