I can say the same about Bacula, just spooling to virtual tape slots
on external disks work just fine here, it has worked more than a
decade w/o a hitch and I'm not changing it for the sake of having a
change any time soon (originally was backing to an external SCSI tape
using DDS2 media virtually using the same config files but rotating
multi-TB external disks is cheaper & easier).
