Description: 
If I create more than 1 storage device (files) the volumes are assigned to
the last device, although I specify different.

I imagine you gave each of the Bacula SD devices the same name, so only the
last one is kept. This is a known "deficiency" in the conf scanning
routines (the manual documents that error detection in reading the .conf
file is less than ideal).

I'll try to fix it in version 1.35.

In the mean time, give your resources unique names *always* and you won't
have any problems.

"I imagine you gave each of the Bacula SD devices the same name"
Nope, I've got past that stage about 15 years ago :-P

I don't have access to the system right now so I can't check, but maybe
the names are truncated somewhere ?
The names of the devices are quite long and the distinctive part comes
only at the end, but I didn't see any reference to name length limitation
anyway.

It looks like I get the behavior described if I define the storage in the
defaults for the job as:
Storage stor1
.
Storage storn

If the I configure it as:
Storage stor1, stor2....
it behave corectly.

Hope this helps

Bizarre. Please upload your bacula-dir.conf and your bacula-sd.conf files.
You can zap the passwords and addresses if you need security, but
otherwise, please send me exactly what you are using.

Thanks.
