As I understand it, to have two Autochangers on different sites, the
media in them must have different MediaType, or Bacula will end up
trying to pull new media from Scratch to use in the wrong library.

But from what you are saying, I can't move a tape from one site to the
other where the MediaType is different.  But this sort of move is bound
to happen with multiple sites, for cross-site restores where one doesn't
want them to go over the WAN.

Or have I misunderstood you or Bacula?

thanks, Phil

To restore from a volume your media type of the storage daemon must
not change when you moved its location.
