Well, now I know that whole thing is impossible. Simpler, that way. Thank you for letting me know!
Technically I do have a huge NAS that dwarfs the production NAS in size (TrueNAS box). It was intended to store one movie, but the movie IT people massively over-estimated the amount of space we needed, so it never got used. It has occurred to me to use this TrueNAS device as a disk based volume storage solution. Can one make multiple copies of a reference volume? Ie, could we have disk based backups managed by bacula on this larger NAS, with copies made to tape for onsite AND offsite storage? Maybe at that point we wouldn't need an onsite tape backup set. Disk based backup could speed up our initial backups substantially since both of these systems can operate at 10gbe speeds. I have it set up with LTO as the primary backup solution because LTO infrastructure was the only backup plan until management suddenly demanded I build a massive NAS for housing this movie (then failed to use said NAS).
