Bacula will only use one drive per pool, so if you want to write to more
then one drive you have to define several pools and direct the jobs to
this pools.

With the "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" option set to bigger then 1 bacula
will write the jobs simultaniously to the one drive.

Look at the storage-section in the bacula-dir.conf. There you have also
to define "Maximum Concurrent Jobs", e.g:

Storage {
  Name = SL500-1
  Address = dss-bacula
  SD Port = 9103
  Password = "<passwd>"
  Device = SL500-1
  Media Type = LTO-3
  Autochanger = yes
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
