The question then ceases to be "I have twenty possible volumes from

The restore command of the bconsole tool already has the "pool" command
line argument which could be used for volume selection.
In my case with Bacula 9.6.7 it didn't work with copy jobs. It would be
nice to make it work with newer Bacula versions (e.g. 11.x).
Eric mentioned that MediaType might potentially be used in the selection
algorithm. I am not sure if this is necessary if we get a working "pool="
argument.
Indeed, and Pool is probably a better discriminator in this case than
MediaType. In my case, the two relevant pools for Full backups are
Full-Disk and Full-Archive, and both are Media Type = File. In any
random hypothetical environment with copy jobs, I would expect it to be
far more likely that Copy jobs will be in a different Pool than that
they will have a different media type.
