Also keep in mind that when you don't specify a Maximum Concurrent Job
somewhere, it may have defaulted to 1.
You can actually see whether that is the problem. In bconsole, when you
do a "stat dir" while the log job is waiting for the storage device, it
will tell you why it is waiting. You can also do a "stat storage" to
find out more details.

It's actually a bit different. Pool and storage resources are managed by
the director, not the SD.
client1 -> job1 -> pool1/storage resource1 -> bacula-sd -> media1
client2 -> job2 -> pool2/storage resource2 -> bacula-sd -> media2
That should work. I have had two concurrent backups going to two
different media at the same time.
