Be careful with the LVM. If one drive dies (unless both are RAIDs) you
loose all of your backups. I would instead use the bacula vchanger.

With the vchanger I would make each storage a virtual magazine.
However the conversion would probably require migration and I believe
you may run into problems if the storages are different sizes.
