You want to run X jobs with X different filesets. The config above
will certainly not accomplish that. It will just be 1 job and 1
fileset. Also you will need to enable concurrency and have multiple
storage devices since a single storage device can load only 1 volume
at a time. Think of each disk storage devices as a single tape drive
with all the abilities and restrictions.
