If you haven't and you can, sneak in a reboot of the BRU Server
machine, that's connected to your tape drive. I haven't used the
version you'r trying to run, but on the previous builds, I found that
sometimes, no matter what you kill off, what you restart, what you
re-install, nothing can take the place of a reboot with some of these
backup packages.
Heck, I had engineering from some of these companies on site...kill
this, kill that......eventually, just sudo reboot and clear it all
out! :)
We've decided to go the route of having a dedicated backup server
because of this. I went through this whole ordeal again on Friday.
BRU wouldn't write to tape, rebooted, then started my weekly full.
I've also found running libctl -v initialize after reboot helps out.
Make sure all your takes are properly seen and your device is being
recognized properly as well.
Well, it was worth a shot, but the reboot solved nothing. I can connect
to the FreeBSD agent and back it up (remote system), but cannot connect
locally to the Xserve that BRU is running on. Any other suggestions?
