1. We have the strange SCSI error: "Medium destination full"   I have
a feeling that it is related to the fact that the change from one tape
to the other of the same b/u pool is not really bug free.  A reboot is
the only thing that helps.  We are using FC4 on a Dell Optiplex G110 +
LSI Logic SCSI card + Quantum tape drive.

2. BRU has a nice GUI, but the restore and verify tabs will lock up
the computer if selected. Only a power cycle is effective.  We have
many catalogs and probably the Python code of the GUI sucks up all the
X11 resources.  It renders the GUI useless for recovery and
verification and I have to go CLI.  Not a problem in itself, but the
CLI tools are not very good.  I have to grep the catalog files to
figure out where the file is defined.

3. It seems that the BRU support team is not able to help us with
problems (1) and (2).  That sort of negates the rationale for using
closed source.
