Unlike all of the other pages in this module, this one configures the Bacula storage daemon rather than the director. It allows you to control which tape devices and directories are used for backups. Each entry on the list defines a storage device, each of which must have a unique name, a device file or directory (like /dev/st0 or /backup), and a media type name.

Devices defined here can be referenced on the Storage Daemons page, which can in turn be used in backup jobs. This if you want to create a new directory to backup to, it must be added both here and to the daemons list. In addition, any new directory must be labelled first (using the Label Volume page) before Bacula will write to it.

Be aware that changes made to this page will only be activated when the Restart Bacula button is clicked on the module's main page.
