Right. More in Bacula terms, you'd need several storage devices. > Is this supported? More or less - again, a terminology issue. > I would have guess not, but the > docs say "...

It's probably not written explicitly, but Bacula can only handle one volume per storage device, because Bacula treats all volumes similar to tapes. So you need several storage devices, which all access the same set of volume files. That can be done and most flexibility is ensured by using them as a tape changer. In Bacula, you'd do this with the "fake changer" approach or using vtape. I've got no experience with the latter, but the former is documented in the form of a sample script somewhere in the package.
