there were some recent posts on the list, that indicates that this might cause problems. but someone (maybe kern himself) wrote to the manual: "Thus you should probably use the same Media Type specification for all drives where the Media can be freely interchanged." i'm running bacula with one director and two storage-daemons at two different locations (~20km far from each other and booth with an Overland Neo 2000 SDLT attached). my goal was to store the tapes "cross-side" and restore from the offsite-tapes using the offsite-storage, this is why i'm using on booth location the same media-types and pools. i want to put the tapes in any storage, then "update slots" and running the restore, without thinking about in which storage the tape is.
