This is the name of the storage resource used from what is defined in
bacula-dir.conf. From your mount command below it will either be File
or usbchanger1

They should not be. I mean bacula does not move a job from 1 storage
device to another. Although the vchanger may be doing something I am
not aware of. I do not use disk based backups much.
