Another option is "Logical Volume Manager" (LVM) which allows you to
create and manage large multi-disk/partition volumes.

I have three 225GB drives for a total storage of 675GB on one logical
partition... which I can just add more drive space if necessary. The
system sees it as one very large partition.

It's not that easy... you'll have to search the list archives.

I have installed Bacula on a SuSE Enterprise Server 9.0 system with
one internal VXA-1 drive and an external RakPak with two VXA-1
drives. Bacula recognizes all the drives and can write to them, and I
have successfully backed up both the local machine and a remote Linux
server.
good.
When I was running Backup Exec, the two external drives were defined
in such a way that a backup job that started on the left-hand drive
and filled the tape would automatically span to the tape in the
right-hand drive.
Is there a way to configure Bacula to do the same?
With some help... you need some funny scripting for this to work, or
you need to wait. This is one of the features that are on Kerns
to-do-list, but not yet implemented in the development version. See
Kern's mail "Re: [Bacula-devel] concurrent jobs with multiple-drive
autochanger" on bacula-devel for more information.
That said, look for mail from Mario Wolff, about 29 Jan this year, in
the srchive. You will find a script that might do what you want.
The internal drive is /dev/nst0 and the external drives are /dev/nst1
and /dev/nst2.
This should not matter :-)
