Hi Michael, 

in this case you might want to consider setting up separate pools &
storages for full and incremental backups, so you have an easy way
later on to archive a full backup once a month by copying over a full
volume to another usb disk and store it offsite or whatever. 

You can configure bacula to use one volume per job by using the 

Maximum Volume Jobs = 1 

directive (you'd need to get rid of the MaxVolBytes definition then
though as it wouldn't make sense anymore)

We define a full pool with 3 max volumes and an incremental pool with
8 volumes for a "regular" client in our setup. 

Cheers, Uwe
