Thank you very much for your help, just some info about how I solved:
- I did not have the "update media" on my versione of bacula (2.2)
- Upgraded to 2.4.x latest, still no "update media"
- Updated the media on the volume via sql, and bscan did not warn anymore about media type mismatch
- Tried a "file search" on "rest", but bacula never showed me the bscanned jobs as possible
- Using option 3 of "rest", via job id, I could always brwose the tree and mark, but always the same problem on "done"

It's as if bscan was not placing all the data correctly, so dird was not finding everything right.

Then I decided a last approach: my concurrent backups always ended with a last single backup of the Catalog. So this was the only file I could be sure to "bextract" manually.
I "bextracted" bacula.sql from this tape, renamed my current db to baculaok, imported the old bacula.sql situation, ran bacula against thid db, restored succesfully, finally placed back the baculaok to bacula db, and restarted bacula.

This solved :)

Thanks anyway for your help.
Gabriele.

You can see the media type of the volumes with the "list media" command and
change them using "update media volume=..."
