On Bacula version 1.25 and prior, it expects you to have the correct tape mounted prior to a restore. On Bacula version 1.26 and higher, it will ask you for the tape, and if the wrong one is mounted, it will inform you. If you have previously done an unmount command, all Storage daemon sessions (jobs) will be completely blocked from using the drive unmounted, so be sure to do a mount after your unmount. If in doubt, do a second mount, it won’t cause any harm.
