Yes, multiple restore jobs work.  Actually, a restore job is really more
of a template containing default values, since as long as you are
initiating a restore manually, you can modify all the parameters.
However, multiple restore jobs can be very useful if you have
either a lot of parameters or some that are complicated that
need to be changed.
