I suppose there is some absolute limit on the number, but probably not
from a practical standpoint.

The issue will come down to resources: network bandwidth, server
resources, etc.  The more simultaneous schedules, and therefore clients
that are running will impact performance.

The clever thing about the TSM scheduler is its ability to randomize
backups among clients (Polling sched mode).  This feature makes it
easier to have fewer schedules.  But only if you don't care about the
exact time a client backs its data up.  Which in most cases is fine.

For clients requiring an exact backup time you use schedmode prompted.
In that case the issue you mention comes into play: how many clients can
you run at the same time.
