It is not recommended to have one large storage pool volume.  As each volume
can allow only one client at any given time to write to it, you should have
at least the same number of stg-pool volumes as the number of clients you
will backup in parallel.  This ensures that each client gets a storage pool
volume to dump data to on the server.

Also, if you have multiple disks spread out the volumes over these disks for
better I/O performance.

Hope this helps.
