You can have multiple pools of tapes that use the same tape device; there's not a problem with that. It just means you have to switch the tape or have an autoloader do so.
I understand. I do this for the Weekly (Weekly pool) & Monthly (Monthly pool) tape(s). These pools share the same tape device. But the switching of the tape (not an autoloader) is not an option.
Personally, I do my nightly Catalog backups on the same tape as my nightly incrementals and weekly differentials.
I'm interessed how you defined that situation in your bacula-dir.conf. Is it possible if I can have a look at how you accomplished that?
