I have been doing some searching, but I am apparently not searching on 
the right key words, and can't seem to find out how to enable multiple 
jobs to run simultaneously.  I am running my backups to Disk only and 
not tape, so I do have random access media, and also knowing that 
running multiple jobs to the volume may slow down restores.  The problem 
that I am trying to solve is a slow link to one of the machines, it 
takes a several hours to backup, so I need to start it early, but don't 
want to make the remaining server have to wait for it to complete before 
executing their backups.  Some of the faster machines are fairly large 
volume and may take up to an hour so I would rather not just run them 
first delaying the slow machines start for a couple of hours.

I know there are some Max Concurrent Jobs settings, not sure if I am 
just missing one of those or if I need to add more storage devices/pools 
possibly a spool area, etc.  I have made sure to configure the 
priorities correctly (since in my searching I have found that it will 
only run same priority jobs at same time, which makes sense) so the main 
backup jobs are one priority, a few less critical servers another, and 
then the catalogue backup set to run last.

If anyone knows of some documentation that describes all the steps is 
necessary to allow multiple jobs at once, and can direct me to it, that 
would be great.
