In the meantime I found this:

http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Current_State_Bacula.html#SECTION00540000000000000000
Bacula supports doing backups and restores to multiple devices of different
media type and multiple Storage daemons. However, if you have backed up a job
to multiple storage devices, Bacula can do a restore from only one device,
which means that you will need to manually edit the bootstrap file to split it
into two restores if you split the backup across storage devices. This
restriction has been removed in version 2.2.0 and later, but it is not yet
fully tested. 


Can anyone who is using different storage devices and media types for a backup
job (eg. different storage for full, diff, incr backups) confirm that a restore
is possible without problem?

Otherwise I would post to the -devel list or open a bug report.
