Hi John, 

first off thanks for your reply. It's it's indeed a limitation within
bacula, then why do parallel backup jobs to the same disk volume work
just fine? I really fail to grasp the difference here, maybe someone
can enlighten me? Is it the "different parts of the same volume" bit
that bites me? I assume parallel write jobs would simply be streamed
to the volume, while parallel reads aren't possible? 

All the best, Uwe
