This is true, we use such a setup with tape based volumes. The point is
that you should use spooling to disk in such a case to avoid interleaving
of the jobs on tape. This is reported to prolong restore times. Since our
clients cannot saturate our LTO drive we would need spooling anyhow and
never tried without.

Not sure if spooling would also be needed for disk based volumes though.

Please search the list, this was discussed several times. It involves
adding MaximumConcurrentJobs directives in several places.

Any not too ancient bacula version should do. We are using 2.2.8
