Hallo Andreas, we're running two concurrent backups to one disk based volume using bacula 2.2.8. The volume grows to a maximum size of 400g (so we can fit two of them onto an lto4 for off-site storage), then the oldest one is recycled and used. So far, we haven't had any troubles restoring data with this setup. All I did in order to enable 2 concurrent jobs was to add the line Maximum concurrent jobs = 2 to the director definition.
