In the documentation, it's advised to use different Media Type values for each device (File1, File2, ...). From what I understand, if you don't, you might meet some problems where the Director will try to access, for example, to Device SD_FULL to write your incremental volumes.
This will lead to some errors. I got one this week actually, doing the same as
you,
migrating from one disk device, to two disk devices, forgetting to set the
correct spool
in one of the Job resource definitions.
The errors was the following (it took me some time to figure out what was
wrong):
05-Jun 03:26 backup-dir: Start Backup JobId 2964,
Job=catalog.2006-06-05_01.15.01
05-Jun 03:26 backup-sd: Volume "FILE_DAY_0004" previously written, moving to
end of data.
05-Jun 03:30 backup-dir: catalog.2006-06-05_01.15.01 Fatal error: Volume Files
at 1 being set to 0 for Volume "FILE_DAY_0004". This is incorrect.
05-Jun 03:30 backup-sd: catalog.2006-06-05_01.15.01 Fatal error: Error getting
Volume info: 1992 Update Media error. VolFiles=0, CatFiles=1
05-Jun 03:30 prophecy-fd: catalog.2006-06-05_01.15.01 Fatal error: Bad status
102 returned from Storage Daemon.
05-Jun 03:30 backup-dir: catalog.2006-06-05_01.15.01 Error: Bacula 1.38.3
(04Jan06): 05-Jun-2006 03:30:26
Volume file FILE_DAY_0004 was and had to be in one spool, but the above job
tried to
access it in the other pool, which lead to this error. However FILE_DAY_0004
was created
and filed in the bad spool directory, and I had to remove and hope nothing is
wrong in the
database.
