Checked:
1. Hostname resolution is sound.
2. Other backup jobs can use the same tape/drive at the same time without issue.
3. Nothing NBU related in the Event Viewer leading up to the hang on master/media or client.
4. Nothing fishy that I can see in verbose bpcd, bptm, or bpbrm; bpbkar is showing TCP 10054 errors at the time of hang.
5. No images are written as per bpimagelist output: No entity was found
6. Tried restarting client services and rebooting master/media.
7. Test backups of multiple files in D:\Temp works fine.
8. WOFB disabled.
9. Backups to every other client is fine.
