Thank you for your help with my problem. I received an email from Tim Jones about the X11 interface upgrade. I had the server download it and then I installed it this afternoon. I ran a test backup on my samba directories and everything came out ok. Tonight it will do a full backup and hopefully the problem will not come up again. My backup size is far less than the capacity of the tape, even with no compression, though I use compression. As far as EST Inc. goes, I have been helped several times before by Tim, and he is the reason I advised my customer to buy BRU. Thanks so much for your help also.

Hi Samuel,You probably reached the end of the 1st tape and there is nobody
there to put a 2nd tape in the machine. If you are kicking off
bru from a cron job then it is time you get an autoloading machine.
There not cheap though.Note: Spend the extra 100 bucks and get a service contract from
EST, Inc. They have been a great help to me.Carl
