Unfortunately bacula can't write the same job on 2 media in one go.
I solved a similar scenario for me by doing
- Backup to disk
- Copy Job to copy the disk-backups to tape pool1
- Copy job to copy the disk-backups to tape pool2

In my setup, the job has a lifetime of 13 months, the disk-pools 35
days, one tape pool 13 months, the other 2 months.
If you can afford the diskspace for a set of backups, but not for as
many days, you can do a copy job and a migrate job instead of 2 copy jobs
or implement some other algorithm to recover the disk space.
I use sql to select the jobs I want to copy.
