Yes, this is in my bacula-dir.conf.

maybe but this not my point. i want that the jobs are scheduled automatically 
in an alternating way, because otherwise the scheduled jobs would wait for 
the first computer with more than one job. that's why i want something like:
computer 1 - job 1
computer 2 - job 1
computer 3 - job 1
computer 2 - job 2
computer 3 - job 2
computer 1 - job 2
and so on.
instead of
computer 1 - job 1
computer 1 - job 2
computer 1 - job 3
computer 2 - job 1
computer 2 - job 2
computer 2 - job 3
computer 3 - job 1
computer 3 - job 2
computer 3 - job 3
thats what happen at the moment. 
increasing the 'maximum concurrent jobs' in the bacula-fd.conf would not fix 
the problem because the harddrive isn't faster just because i want to run 
more jobs parallel. so i only can parallelize if i can dynamically run jobs 
of different computers at the same time.
