The file in the disk will be named exactly what you specify:
drive01vol01 if you so wish.

Amount of Volumes is mostly about recycling. When Bacula recycles (frees
old media to a new backup) it does so on volume basis. If it needs to
wrote a volume again, it empties the whole volume, and starts writing again.

If it's ok to flush a whopping 1TB-3TB at once, one volume per media
might be OK. But smaller files (volumes) keep old data longer on the
disk, at Bacula automatically manages the files (volumes), no matter how
many of them are there.
