It is possible to move volumes between devices see: https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/HowToManuallyTransferDataVolumes.html
That said if your volumes and devices are all interchangeable I would configure the system to all work with them as a single entry. Generally this means all your disk based volumes are in a single folder (really not an issue) so the device path all point to the same location. For disk volumes devices are ‘virtual’ and almost not real but a hold over from scheduling tape drives and other external media.
