[Bacula-users] Change media type of existing media

Hello all,

I've got some file storage that I use for backups and I've created a
few storage declarations for a few pools which are just different
directories on the same file system. I specified "Media Type = File"
for all the declarations and when I went to do a restore that spanned
multiple of these storage declarations, I got an error similar to
"Please mount volume X in storage A", but that volume is in storage B.
I was able to just move the file to the storage A directory and it was
happy, then I moved it back.

I found that what I should have done when I set everything up was to
give each storage a different Media Type (like File-A, File-B, File-C,
etc). How can I change the media type for existing volumes? In Bat
there doesn't seem to be a way to change it on a volume basis. Will
'update' then 'volume parameters' then 'All Volumes from Pool' do the
trick if I make the appropriate changes in bacula-dir.conf and
bacula-sd.conf first? Or will this require some direct SQL
manipulation?

Thanks,
