You have to tell bacula what storage to use. From that bacula picks a drive (if you have a multi drive autochanger) and it will use this drive for the duration of the backup. In my opinion it is probably best to have different libraries in different pools so that bacula does not BLOCK (and wait for user intervention) because it recycled a tape from one library but wants to use it in the other.
