You leave Storage  in your Pool config as the Storage name, it’s telling the 
Pool  “all the media for this pool can be accessed on Storage File  and Storage 
{}  says you can access any of the volumes of that pool on these three Devices 
FileStorage, File1, File2. 

Again think of the Device as a virtual tape drive, If you had a tape library 
with 2 drives you would have 2 devices and each drive can read tapes from that 
pool.

Pool {
  Name = AI-Incremental
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bareos can automatically recycle 
Volumes 
  Auto Prune = yes                    # Prune expired volumes 
  Volume Retention = 2 months         # How long should jobs be kept? 
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G          # Limit Volume size to something 
reasonable 
  Label Format = "AI-Incremental-"
  Volume Use Duration = 7d
  Storage = File
  Next Pool = AI-Consolidated         # consolidated jobs go to this pool 
  Action On Purge=Truncate
}

Get this working first and then ping me back about my migrations,  I do it for 
two reasons,  one is I have limited disk space and cannot hold all backups on 
them.  I also take a long term archive job I take off site.
