What i want is to have always as much jobs from different computers running as 
i have tape drives so i get the best throughput. at the moment i only have 
two drives but maybe i will get more soon. so it should be a flexible 
solution, but i want this with a minimum of schedules. otherwise i have to 
write a lot of schedules which will start one minute after another.

director:  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
storage: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
client1: no Maximum Concurrent Jobs Definition
        all jobs have no Maximum Concurrent Jobs Definition
client2: same here
client3: same here
client4: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
        jobs no definition
client5:  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
        jobs no definition
client6: nothing here
client7: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
        jobs no definition

i cannot post the bacula-fd.conf because the clients dont belong to me. i only 
realize the backup server in our institute.
