What you do is not undesirable. What IS undesirable is if your migration source pool contains volumes of different media types. Like you run incremental backups to a pool using file storage device and tape device, and later migrate jobs from both these storages to DVD. That's probably undesirable because Bacula has to reserve many devices to migrate, I suspect.
