Thank you Phil, the first solution sound nice to me. I am trying to use the configuration described here: http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x- manuals/en/main/main/Basic_Volume_Management.html (it looks like the same you suggested, the only difference is that I use the same folder for all devices). I've setup all my "alias devices" to use the same folder /bacula to get the tapes. But the storage daemon seems to does not recognize the old tapes created from different devices on previous jobs, because with storage status from console I get: Device "bkp12-disk-e" (/bacula) is not open. Device is BLOCKED waiting to create a volume for: Pool: POOL-FUL-bkp13 Media type: File12e It looks like very strange to me, because if I restart the job o the original device it work as expected. Both devices are on the same storage daemon and use the same folder. What can be? Thank you for all your support!!
