No, I don't think so.  A pool contains volumes (tapes or files), not storage
devices.

You probably need to create 1 File Storage with 3 bacula volumes (i.e. files)
in 1 pool.  I think you can put one file on each disk by using symbolic links
in the Archive Device (i.e. directory) of the File Storage.


  Pedro> Am I clear?

Yes, perfectly!
