> Automatically selected Storage: LTO-6
This seems to suggest that the Director is configured to use a device
called "LTO-6". Care to post the bacula-dir.conf? I know you said
there's no mention of "LTO-6" here, but perhaps you need to mention the
storage device specifically? With your config names, my bacula-dir.conf
would say this:
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Storage = Autochanger
...
This would tell Bacula to try to write to "Autochanger" rather than
"LTO-6".

This would make sense because your Storage device is called "LTO-8" so
it can't find one called "LTO-6".
In my opinion I'd rename your device to use something other than
"LTO-8" otherwise you can't tell whether it's referring to the device
or the media format:
Autochanger {
Device = ltomag-drive
...
}
Device {
Name = ltomag-drive
Drive Index = 0
Media Type = LTO-7
...
Here, you will know "ltomag-drive" means the Device section, while
"LTO-*" means a media type.

This should all be automatic. In my own setup I'm using an LTO-5
autochanger with LTO-4 tapes, and it works fine. I don't think Bacula
actually checks the LTO media, I suspect it just uses the "Media Type"
you've specified in the "Device" config. In my above example I wrote
"LTO-7", but think this just marks any media that passes through the
drive as LTO-7, regardless of what it actually is.
I don't think this will cause any problems unless you actually have a
single Bacula setup that uses multiple tape types at the same time,
and it needs to look at the Media Type in order to decide which drive
to load the tape into.
Cheers,
Adam.
