I'm not clear if you're trying to avoid lots of physical devices or lots of
bacula storage device definitions.  You could create one Device {} entry
per client in the bacula-sd.conf.  These each correspond to a different
directory on some filesystem.   You then run each backup to its own file
Device -- these can all happen concurrently.

You should then be able to migrate each one in turn to tape.

Or maybe I've missed something?
