Using label barcodes and then selecting drive 1 will allow this to continue while drive 0 is churning away. I am not sure I mentioned it in my first post about this but I did backup around 7 to 10TB of data using the direct to drives method and it worked 100% of the time with 2.X versions of bacula.
