no, that is not necessary.
i have the identical setup:
one dir
and two sd's on different sides.
booth sd's using SDLT as media type.

Bacula can handle this without problems.
i'm running this config since nearly 2 years (from 1.36 to 2.4.1)
with ~ 50 clients per side and 70TB data on tape.

Best Regards

Thoams
