I followed the usb disc/tape changer howto and this involved a "label" command, that creates the desired number of volumes. As I wasn't shure, how many volumes i exactly would require per full backup of all hosts i chose a rather high number (20) of labels/volumes. As currently all hosts get backed up to the same volume, this might be the key. I will try to delete all volumes without the first one. So bacula must take the first one... ;) Thanks for your hint!
