Bacula is certainly flexible enough to do this.

We can't answer that question. There's lots of factors here that you don't
provide the information for. To figure it out for yourself you need to
consider:
What is the capacity of the tapes and how much data you're backing up?
Note that you're unlikely to get tapes that are COMPLETELY full from any
backup you do. It'll get them as full as possible before moving on to the
next one.
For the incremental backups, how much data changes each day?
For the differentials, about how much data changes after around 2 weeks?
Hopefully you can check logs or notes to figure out the answers to those
questions.

Schedule {
Name = "Marcos Schedule"
Run = Full 1st Sat at 20:05
Run = Differential 3rd Sat at 20:05
Run = Incremental Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri at 20:05
}
You can copy/paste that right into your bacula-dir.conf file. Of course, you
can pick your own name and times, but that ought to get you started.

I hope that my example above gives you some insight into how it works so that
you understand it for yourself in the future.
Good luck!
