Forgive me if I didn't know to specify the details of something
important, I'm a noob.  I installed Bacula 5.2.6 (over Postgres, on a
Debian stable system) but have so far performed zero backups with it.

Is the situation described at
<http://wiki.bacula.org/doku.php?id=removable_disk> still the state of
the art?

>>From my reading of the document, the file system label for the
removable file systems is fixed ("usbchanger1" is the label suggested
in the wiki page).    This determines the mount point.   That implies,
I think, that only one removable disk is supported.

How would one go about removing this N==1 restriction (if it exists)?
  I ask because I have an external eSATA dock with slots for more than
one disk (which I can use at the same time, of course though that's
not relevant to my query), and to perform a full backup of my SAN
unattended, I will need to use more than one removable disk.

If I write a backup volume to a removable disk, can I subsequently
migrate it (without restore/re-backup) to tape or to Amazon Glacier in
such a way that the director still knows how to recover it?

Thanks,
James.
