As mentioned in a prior response, Bacula *may* actually permit both
providing each disk has its own filesystem (path). 

I would add small nuance to what you wrote:  if Bacula does *only* allow
either automatic volume management or multiple disks, it is not by
"design", but rather because other than some elementary USB stick code I
wrote and the no longer used DVD code, we never thought about dealing
with the particularities of hot-swappable disks.

By the way, during my vacation I noticed that you gave some very helpful
advice on this list -- thanks.
