You have the same Media Type=File in all your storages, which I think is the
most likely cause of the problem (see the doc for Media Type in
https://www.bacula.org/15.0.x-manuals/en/main/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html#SECTION0025300000000000000000).
Bacula uses the Media Type in some situations to decide which storage to use,
so it has to be unique for each storage where the media cannot be
interchanged.
Note that if you change this then you will need to change it in both the
bacula-dir.conf and the bacula-sd.conf and then delete and recreate all of the
media whose Media Type has changed. **THIS WILL LOSE THOSE BACKUPS**
