We have about 80 virtual servers running on 20 Physical servers that 
need backed up.

Our Bacula implementation is now at scheduling stage and we are stuck 
trying to figure out how to get the virtual servers to backup without 
them all running concurrently overwhelming the physical servers that 
they are on.

Our current plan is to have just one Schedule that will start at 1am 
then we will give each virtual server a unique priority, We plan to give 
the the first Job a priority of 5 then the next 10 and on.....This seems 
a messy but I can't see any other way to stop or limit the number of 
virtual servers on the same physical server from running at the same time.

There must be other people with load of virtual servers that have the 
same issues. This has probably been that forth or fifth email that I 
have written to this group. I've never sent the previous ones as I 've 
always found a solution before sending the email, but this time I'm 
stuck. It seems that the people that make Bacula what it is have though 
of everything and I'm just hoping there an elegant solution to my problem.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks
Keith
