There are 5 or more places to use "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" depending
on the level of concurrency you want. I believe the default in the
bacula-fd.conf is already 20 so this place is not really doing much.
You need to set it in the bacula-dir.conf in the director and client
resources. Also keep in mind that every storage device can only load 1
volume at a time so if you are using disk volumes with multiple pools
and only 1 storage do not expect jobs that go to different pools to
run concurrently.
