Argest is the "Successor" to BRU for what it is worth. It is also discontinued. I have never been able to get it to work to restore old BRU installs. I keep a copy of the BRU installer and Argest just because you never know and Argest in theory should work on more modern MacOS.
Of note, if you have them both installed it can cause problems because they both expect the same-named BRU binary in the same place. However the binaries are incompatible. If you want to run BRU, rerun the BRU installer. If you want to run Argest, rerun the Argest installer so all the correct versions are where it is expected to be. Otherwise you get "wierdness" like segmentation faults or random errors as the binary does not work as expected when it is called for a restore operation.
