As far as I know, you can not as they will be different hosts and each 
needs to run a seperate FD (file director).

In a sense I have four clients, which means four jobs, all run at the 
same priority and the same(almost) time. Two are win2k clients and two 
are linux clients. One of each is a big job and the other two are small. 
So it was a simple cut and paste in the BD(Bacula Director) file for the 
job defs and schedules, then minor edit.

Since I now have 30Gb spool dir on a raid 5  array(old kit doing nix), I 
just allowed spool file size of 10GB and kick off three(two big and one 
small) at the same and the other small a fews minutres later. It waits 
until one of the others has finished and then gets run.

With this pattern, I could expand clients as much as I want.

Setting up some old kit as a raid 5 array on 40Mb/s scsi and running 
concurrent jobs  was the secret to making a Full backup that extended 
over 8 hours complete in two hours.

Last bit mentioned in case that is your problem.
