Hi Neil
Quality post, thanks for your time!
Argest is still full of bugs, nearly five years after it was first announced. They have strung me along saying “new version next week” for years. It doesn’t work. Bru is truly dead.
What are you using for LTFS software on Mac vs Windows vs Linux?

@davidfox5 can I contact you by email? Please let me know if you are still offering the 50% discount for BRU PE licence holders. I would like to try a demo.

@davidfox5 is there a personal version of the P5 archive software? the price is much higher than other options and I am a noncommercial user. thanks, J.

@neilsadwelkar I can’t find anything turnkey for Linux besides ArGest which has slow/unreliable tech support. I wanted to move away from Mac for storage but it seems like no one is developing for linux. Do you have any suggestions for Linux-based LTO software?

Thanks! I’m going to try both Yoyotta and Canister. I’m leaning towards Yoyotta because the company seems to have a longer history but I would be paying for a few features I don’t need.

Can we report it dead now? OWC support has barely heard of this software and is totally confused by any tech support requests.

Hi Tim, I see you have responded to other threads so I will assume you are not interested in responding to me.
I was told by Paige in December that she would assign me permanent serial and licence keys when the new version was released.
The main issue I have with Tolis Group is that your communications are erratic. Emails were frequently unattended to, the timelines kept changing and I was told “almost ready” from January to December 2019 when I still didn’t have a working version that could import a Mac based PE catalog. If it has been ready for a while, why wasn’t I contacted by sales as I was told I would be? Again, the sales@, noreply@ and pebeta@ are all whitelisted. I can see from other threads that I am not the only person feeling that the level of communication has been sub-par.
**EDIT: ArGest Backup is not ready — there are issues with the UI and the volume labeling process that make it unusable for me. Archive header errors, file synchronization errors, block sequence errors. If the software has been taken out of beta, it should not have so many bugs in it. Suggest everyone in a production environment stick with 3.x for now**

If I did get an announcement in the spam folder it was so long ago that google deleted it.
The last time I missed an announcement from Tolis it was because a new (non whitelisted) email address was being used. In aviation, one announces that they are changing radio frequencies ahead of time. The bru pe beta address and support ticket addresses are whitelisted. Did the announcement come through either of these channels?

Is the beta testing complete?
I haven’t received any email since January 3rd — “[ArGest® Backup 4.0] Build 235 Final Candidate Now Available”
