That's the part that doesn't make sense to me: why not? If I have 2 
ait-3 tape drives, do I always have to put a tape in the drive that 
originally wrote it? If yes, then fine, whatever (and I haven't used 
bacula with tapes so I actually don't know), but if not, why do file 
volumes have to be different?

Aside from that it looks to me that you can't use different media types 
in the same pool, so yes, you can use more than one disk. But you have 
to define a separate pool for each and spread your clients over the 
pools and guesstimate your backup sizes/client correctly and generally 
make the whole thing much more complicated than it needs to be.
