The answer is probably no but...

I can hear the disk currently being written to making bad noises, and
the speed is extremely slow. Bad disk for sure, about to fail. This is
at the end of a multi-Terabyte backup, just about 500 gig left and I
would REALLY hate to think there is no way out but to start over
completely.

So is there a way for me to replace that disk without invalidating the
entire backup? Running on Linux with an external SATA / FW enclosure,
bacula version 3.0.2

Thanks much in advance
