If the writing fails the backup job will end with either failed status or "with errors". I'm not sure but I'd expect the former. You can of course always re-run any job manually but I don't recall any mechanics like "if the job failed, re-try it immediately with another volume". You could try to script it though using your favourite scripting language.
