Back on 2009-09-27 Kern mentioned on the bacula-devel list that this was 
possible, but left undocumented because it is not ready for production 
use. I haven't noticed it being mentioned in the "New Features in x" 
sections of the docs, so I assume that is still the case, and it is a 
"use at your own risk" sort of feature.
