Thank you Phil, the first solution sound nice to me. I am trying to use the 
configuration described here: http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-
manuals/en/main/main/Basic_Volume_Management.html (it looks like the same you 
suggested, the only difference is that I use the same folder for all devices).

I've setup all my "alias devices" to use the same folder /bacula to get the 
tapes. But the storage daemon seems to does not recognize the old tapes 
created from different devices on previous jobs, because with storage status 
from console I get:

Device "bkp12-disk-e" (/bacula) is not open.
    Device is BLOCKED waiting to create a volume for:
       Pool:        POOL-FUL-bkp13
       Media type:  File12e

It looks like very strange to me, because if I restart the job o the original 
device it work as expected. Both devices are on the same storage daemon and 
use the same folder.

What can be?

Thank you for all your support!!

Lorenzo
