Voltype is an arbitrary name given to a certain type of volume. It must be consistent across all bacula configuration files. For example in my setup I have "LTO8" as a voltype. This references my actual LTO 8 tapes, but I could have named them anything, like "George" or "duck".
I kind of think that maybe a voltype "0" and "2" is not very informative for someone who must maintain the system. I think (but can't remember for sure), voltype must be defined in SD conf and referenced in bacula director conf for each job. Web tools like Baculum and BWeb may strip out all comments, making it more difficult to examine how bacula is configured. I don't have it in front of me, but try to find the current manual pdf on the bacula website. I had to dig around to find the correct manual for my version.
