First, always be aware that any job in Bacula will only use exactly
one device.
So you need to enable concurrent jobs first.
You also need to make sure the jobs running in parallel either use
different pools, or use "Prefer Mounted Volume = No" in the
configuration. The latter is deprecated.
Only then can you expect to see more than one drive being used.
