It's definitely possible (I've been using Bacula with WOL that way for

Well, with multiple concurrent jobs enabling data spooling does
guarantee that jobs are written to the volume sequentially instead of
being interleaved. It also avoids wasting space in the backup volumes if

If you are on a 64-bit OS, make sure you're using the 64-bit client.
While backing up files will work even with the 32-bit client, VSS won't.
