It depends.
For NBU 4.5, yes there is a new feature called Storage Unit Groups to do
exactly this.
For NBU 3.4.x you must name the storage units correctly. "Any available"
storage units are selected alphabetically. Also, the disk stu must have the
"on demand only" box unchecked. The default is on demand only.
The only way to compress that data on disk is if the underlying file system
supports compression (i.e NT4/Win2k).

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Disk Storage Units - some questions
I've just configured my first disk-type storage unit. Now, for the first
time, I have two storage units. Is there a way to set a priority choice and
a secondary choice for a class? For example, I want the Disk STU to be used
first unless it's not available, then try the tape drive STU.
Also, if it's not possible to do this, what's the error returned to the
backup job if the disk becomes full?
Finally, is there a way to compress the image onto the disk?
