I have been using BRU with a WangTek tapedrive for backing up data files for
a little while now. It appears that Bru doesn't start from scratch each time,
as every time I use it I get less and less on a tape. I am now up to 4 - 60
Meg tapes to backup 30 MBytes of data :^(

How in the world do you convince BRU to 'erase' or reformat a used tape?

Thanks,
