I have found that the sd will only access one volume at once (despite
how many concurrent jobs you have allowed), and because I am using a
pool per client and 'use volume once', I only get a single backup
happening at a time. Is this your experience? I went to one pool per
client so I didn't have the 'concurrent jobs'+'use volume once' problem
where two jobs could race.

I have thought about having one sd device per client... is that maybe
what you were referring to?

Thanks

James
