Hello,

(...)
As far as i know the Storage Daemon will be the "hot-spot" because it
will use one thread per client backup

No, SD is using one thread per JOB not per Client. You can have a number of concurrent jobs running from one client without a problem.
 
running and of course your OS
must be able to handle some thousand TCP connections.

Yes it's true.
 
That said you
could also split the load to a number of Storage Daemons and only use
a central Director. With this the next "hot-spot" will be the Director
Database managing the file metadata.

The same for Director. It uses one thread per JOB so managing a 1000 concurrent jobs leads to at least 1000 threads to manage by OS. 
 
In any way you should consider to get professional help from
Baculasystems (www.baculasystems.com) with this target scale.

Sure, or any Bacula Systems certified partner in your location. :)
 
You can check a great success story deploying a large scale Bacula at: http://myunix.dk/2010/12/01/large-scale-disk-to-disk-backups-using-bacula/
