Maybe this could be usefull. But I'm still trying to understand why are you using disk drives directly in archive device configuration. You have PB backups. I suppose you have storage arrays with other fault tolerance levels like raid, multipath, etc.. This way, until you have a disk failure that make your ärchive device" unavailable for bacula, you will have enough time to take the necessary actions to avoid this.
I also think that backup software cannot be aware of hardware faliures. Instead this is a problem that has to be treated in another fault tolerance level. Sorry If I am misunderstooding the problem here.
