Hi, try to download the sample file contained in this wiki_bacula:
- http://www.redstar-it.de/hp-storageworks-msl2024-and-hp-lto4-ultrium-1840-drive-with-bacula-2-2-5-2-2-6

Anyway I try to summarize...

Director {
  Name = dracula.in.MYDOMAIN-dir
  DIRport = 9101
  QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql"
  WorkingDirectory = "/backup/bacula"
  PidDirectory = "/var/run/bacula"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 3
  Password = "PASS1"
  Messages = Standard # was: Daemon
}

I think Director first of all has to be instructed to to parallel jobs.

More over You can choose the right retention of your jobs setting it always in bacula-dir.conf (as show before):

Client {
  Name = ts.in.MYDOMAIN
  Address = IP
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "CLIENTPASS"          # password for FileDaemon
  File Retention = 31 days            # 30 days
  Job Retention = 1 year            # six months
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

Finally You can create and manage multiple pools:

Pool {
  Name = DailyBackups
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 31 days         # one year
  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
#  Maximum Volume Bytes = 800000000000
  Storage = msl2024
}

Pool {
  Name = WeeklyBackups
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 31 days         # one year
  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
#  Maximum Volume Bytes = 800000000000
  Storage = msl2024
}

Pool {
  Name = MonthlyBackups
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 365 days          # one year
  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
#  Maximum Volume Bytes = 800000000000
  Storage = msl2024
}

As I say before: all Your needs are in bacula-dir.conf

I hope this may help.
Cheers.
