I assume this means you can't mount some sub-directory of a drive, as I 
suggested.  Note that in the above scheme, /var/lib/bacula/volumes is 
empty until either the on-site or off-site storage is "bind" mounted on 
it.

Perhaps you could do it with some simple renaming. I'm not familiar with 
windows/dos so don't know the right commands but the scripts would be 
like:

Pre-flight

Rename D:\Backups to D:\On_site_Backups
Create directory D:\Backups
Mount G: on D:\Backups

Post-flight

Dismount G: from D:\Backups
Remove directory D:\Backups
Rename D:\On_site_Backups to D:\Backups
One-way-Sync (or copy) G:\Volumes\* to D:\Backups\Volumes\

In the last step (sync or copy) I assumed the storage-daemon 
config contained: Archive Device = D:\Backups\Volumes

Your post-flight script should also contain commands to dump your 
catalog to G: .
