None of those are Bacula or Bacula-related processes.  All of those are
associated with the Linux kernel and related subsystems.  If the machine
has a large number of CPU cores, there is nothing abnormal about what
you are describing.  You should see an xfslogd process for each XFS
filesystem, and many of those other processes you have listed should
have one process per CPU core.
