Thanks for replying John.

Well, because of your advice i have changed Storage part of bacula-dir
to 2 maximum Jobs, thanks for that.
I have also realized that having differents priorities on jobs avoid
them to run concurrently, so i have put the same priority to all the
jobs in this case 1 for all and not 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7.

I am not using spoolfile because of lack of disk space, i will see
performance this night without this file, cross my fingers.

Thanks,
