Just an add to the previous great comments.

If you envisage to use e-sata, check that your chipset/bios support 
hot-replace/add.
It's working nicely with laptop, but not always for a vaste majority of "cheap" 
motherboard.

Mine a Asus M2N-Pro support e-sata : but only on cold restart (jmicron and 
2.6.27 kernel)
Sadly I've to use the usb-2 ...

So my advise, try to prepare 2 or more disk and check if hardware/kernel are 
supporting hot replace.
If yes, you would have some great time with bacula :-)
