Great! So what job logs say about a volume selection when it selects "a
wrong volume"?
Well, it looks for a volume named "Vol-xxx" in the tape loader, which is
wrong.
Your configuration seems to be fine, but what Bacula says about your
configuration - check bconsole command show job=...
Did you reload your configuration after any change?
I restarted the daemons now and then, if that's the same.
Are your volumes labeled correctly?
I think so. That one "ghost volume" is created by Bacula somehow.
Pool "daily" should not create a "Vol-" volume in the "File" storage
...
it shouldn't use "File" at all.
Yes, if you configured it as described.
I never had such a mistake in Bacula when correctly configured, but I've
seen this kind of mistake when incorrectly configured.
Well, that's why I posted the config lines ;-)
I agree and know that something is incorrectly configured. The question
is: what?

phew, sounds even more complicated to me right now
As you wish. A default Bacula configuration which comes with a default
installation is the best suited for disk based backups and this is what
you call "clever defaults or automatisms" as it works perfectly from the
start.
It is not meant to be used "as-is" for tape backups and needs more
customizations.
I appreciate your help and I am ready to learn. If I have to adjust
things for using tapes: ok ...
Basically I could also get rid of the whole storage "File" including the
volumes. It was temporary only, the main goal is to write backups to
physical tapes. But I take this as a "challenge" to learn more about the
mechanisms of Bacula.
(if I get migrate-jobs from File to Tape working without losing any
data, that might be even better ... then remove storage "File" after
doing so)
thanks, Stefan
