I'm working with Amazon VTl (virtual Tape Library) and Bacula v 5.2.6  which 
functions well and can run concurrent jobs to multiple tape drives just fine.
I want to speed up restores for DR purposes and make use of the 10 virtual tape 
drives VTL gives you.
I am not sure if bacula supports restoring to multiple tape drives at the same 
time and haven't been able to find 
 anything in the documentation as such.  

I have created multiple restore jobs and ran them concurrently just fine but 
each restore job waits for the first tape drive to complete before running.  So 
running concurrent restores doesn't provide any net benefit as they can only 
run 1 at a time.
If anyone has any information regarding running restore jobs at the same time 
using multiple tape drives please let me know.  Thanks in advance.


My restore job configs look like this:

##
Job {
  Name = "RestoreFiles"
  Type = Restore
  Client = backup02
  FileSet = "Full Set"
  Pool = Disk
  Messages = Standard
  Where = /mnt/restores
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
  Prefer Mounted Volumes = no
}
Job {
  Name = "RestoreFiles2"
  Type = Restore
  Client = backup02
  FileSet = "Full Set2"
  Pool = Disk
  Messages = Standard
  Where = /mnt/restores
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
  Prefer Mounted Volumes = no
}
