Daniel, First, thanks for the very fast reply.
I must admit I am new to bacula, so I must be missing something but my understanding is such: While one _can_ define several "Device"s in one storage daemon configuration, I cannot see how can you specify which exact device to use in a given "Job" specification since for "Job"s one only can point to a "Storage" resource, which is the name of a storage daemon (that _might_ have different devices attached, true). So, the question is: If I specifiy all devices in a single storage daemon config file, how to I select a specific device/media type to be used in a job specification ?
