No. There's reason for this, of course. The short version: It's not currently supported. The long version: While it might be possible to not remove the original backup's data, and backups and migration would run correctly, Bacula can not handle jobs stored twice during a restore. This might, and most probably will change in the future, but it's not possible now. There is a work around, which might help you or might not: Use the job cloning approach to run a job a second time, going to different media. This has the disadvantage that it doubles load on the client and the network, though.
