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?
Did you clear the kext cache?

After speaking with support, it turns out they had posted the wrong
version to the web site. So, they are reposting later today and that
should take care of it.
