Hello,

You are attempting to use a feature that is not implemented.

Changing Storage for restore and migration is not implemented in any released 
version of Bacula.

Changing of Storage for restore is implemented in 3.1.x (not yet released).  
However, it is unlikely that it works for migration.

Changing of devices within a given Storage should be implemented, for reading 
of any kind, but we do not guarantee that it works -- in your email, you did 
not specify much information so I cannot be more specific.

Regards,

Kern
