Bacula picks a drive to run the update slots on and that is the drive it choose.

Bacula will pick one drive to use.

Not sure. I do things differently. Probably a not recommended
configuration but I have used this for 2 years with good success. You
can define all three devices separately in your bacula-dir.conf:


Storage {
  Name = "DEV6-LTO-0"
  Address = dev6.radimg.pitt.edu
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = ""         # Console password
  Device = "LTO2-0"
  Media Type = "LTO-2"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}

Storage {
  Name = "DEV6-LTO2-1"
  Address = dev6.radimg.pitt.edu
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = ""         # Console password
  Device = "LTO2-1"
  Media Type = "LTO-2"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}

Storage {
  Name = "DEV6-Changer"
  Address = dev6.radimg.pitt.edu
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = ""         # Console password
  Device = "Magnum224-0"
  Media Type = "LTO-2"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
}
