Not sure if this would work for you (especially as it requires some up
front choices) but this is what I'm looking at here.  I did some small
tests with it and it seemed to work fine.

Each host has a dedicated storage pool and storage device (I'm using
all disk-based presently) with each pool/storage combo being an
individual directory (/backups/pool/$hostname).  Each pool has a
hostname-based media type.

To move backups between SD's, I simply rsync'd the current set of
volumes to the new SD and modified the host settings for the SD (and
updated the path to the storage as appropriate in the device
settings).

HTH.
