Hallo Andreas,

we're running two concurrent backups to one disk based volume using
bacula 2.2.8. The volume grows to a maximum size of 400g (so we can
fit two of them onto an lto4 for off-site storage), then the oldest
one is recycled and used. 

So far, we haven't had any troubles restoring data with this
setup. All I did in order to enable 2 concurrent jobs was to add the
line 

Maximum concurrent jobs = 2 

to the director definition.

HTH,

Uwe
