Writing directly to the fixed storage would make sense. Jobs written to 
those volumes on disk could then be migrated to tape (or some other 
removable storage). You might want to look into the "truncate on purge" 
feature, or else set a maximum volume size and number of volumes so that 
you don't run out of disk space inadvertently. Bacula will not, by 
default, erase volume files when they are purged.
