Hi all,

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**
It is possible to update the catalog database according to config
changes, but I propose to be very careful there, i.e. do a backup first,
make sure no jobs run, change the config and the catalog, try the
results and only if everything looks good enable backups to run again.
Overall, not particularly tricky or risky, but if you have large sets of
media and no good way to group them for bulk updates, the catalog
changes can cause a bit of anxiety :-)
Cheers,
Arno
