+RescueBRU is the Rescue CD Backup & Restore Utility. It is a user
+friendly interface to various programs on the System Rescue CD.
+
+RescueBRU allows you to create backup images of nearly any PC, even 
+those on which the filesystems or partitioning schemes are 
+unsupported. In the event of data corruption or drive hardware 
+failure, you can restore the backup images to the original drive or 
+to a new drive of equal or greater capacity. After the restoration, 
+you just reboot and use the restored drive immediately. No flaky 
+Norton Ghost boot floppies. No Windows device configuration. No 
+device driver installation. No IP address or software configuration. 
+Less downtime.
+
+Backup files are stored on an NFS server, a portable USB drive, or a 
+local directory. The general procedure is to run a backup to the 
+backup media using this custom System Rescue CD. When a drive needs 
+to be rebuilt, you can boot this CD on the bad machine and restore 
+directly from the NFS server or the USB drive. For details of how 
+this works, see the more specific help topics in the help menu. 
+
+When booting the RescueBRU CD, the RescueBRU boot page will appear. 
+If you are backing up or restoring a single machine, you can just 
+hit enter to continue booting. You can also backup or restore 
+multiple machines at once if you are using an NFS server as your 
+media type.
+
+
+The Main Menu
+
+The main menu gives you access to all functions of RescueBRU. 
+
+Option 1: Settings menu. Allows you to select which type of media to 
+use for backup or restore, the method used for backups, and the 
+action for the program to take after a successful operation.
+
+Option 2: Do a backup. See the help for Doing a backup.
+
+Option 3: Do a restore. See the help for Restoring from a backup.
+
+Option 4: Disk Utilities. See the help for Disk Utilities.
+
+Option 5: Image Management. Allows you to copy, rename or delete 
+images stored on the backup media.
+
+Option 6: View logs or notes. Log files and notes are generated 
+during most operations of RescueBRU and may be saved with an image 
+when backups or restores are done. These files may be viewed using 
+this option.
+
+Option 7: Show backups available on media.
+
+Option H: Help. You know what this does, or you wouldn't be here.
+
+Option S: Exit to shell or Exit and return to rbruserver. This will 
+exit the RescueBRU program and return you to the System Rescue CD 
+shell if you ran rescuebru directly from a shell prompt. If 
+rescuebru was called from the rbruserver program, you will be 
+returned to rbruserver.
+
+Option R: Exit and reboot. Reboots the system.
+
+Option P: Exit and power down. Powers down the system on systems 
+that support it. For systems that do not support APM or ACPI 
+poweroff, it halts the system.
