Just so it is 100% clear what I am saying: what will not work is two Storage
resources with the same Media Type in the same Storage *daemon*. I am not
even sure I would recommend the same Media Type in two storage resources that
point to two different Storage *daemons* -- in other words, I am not 100%
sure that this would work either.
Bacula should work perfectly correctly providing you provide a unique Media
Type for each Storage resource (or SD Device) whether or not it is one or
more Storage *daemons*.
