I particularly do not like the idea of having separate volumes of

prefer the LVM solution.
The point is to make sure severall disks are being write at the same
time (load balance) and more resiliency since a dead LVM is a terrible
situation.
But I kind of agree with you: I don't know why to use different Media
Types for compatible media.
Because, using the previous example config, volumes in directory
/sdb1/bacula/backup cannot be loaded into vDrive1 and volumes in
directory /bacula/backup cannot be loaded into vDrive2. Bacula uses the
MediaType to decide which volumes can be loaded into which Devices. A
backup job will run without error, writing to either one directory or
the other. But unless tvDrive1 and vDrive2 have different Media Types, a
subsequent restore job will assume it can load any of those volumes into
whichever Device it happens to get assigned to read from.

Do you have some specific reason to need to have these two
volumes separate?
You might be best off using LVM to create a single logical
drive. That
would certainly be a more flexible solution long term.

/sdb1 has another 950GB of space. The sum of available
backup-space should be 1850GB HDD:
