OK, then the following should work, because from the perspective of my director, this is two different storages, with different device names and the same media types. They just happen to have the same IP address and port. bacula-dir.conf: Storage { Name = "Disk 1" Address = "192.168.100.121" SDPort = 9103 Device = "Disk 1.0" Media Type = File } Storage { Name = "Disk 2" Address = "192.168.100.121" SDPort = 9103 Device = "Disk 2.0" Media Type = File } > Now, I'm always using different mediatype foreach different device or > storage daemon. It avoids problems. Problems, or bugs? ;) If I were to set different Media Types, I'd end up with two collections of backups that would be unreadable via any other storage daemon, which is silly. Especially when they are just files on hard disks. I think I'm right when I say the Media Type gets written into the volume. Is there a way of changing the Media Type in a volume that already exists? > As this is a support issue and we don't handle support problem in this bug > tracker, please, don't reopen it.
