Along similar lines, we backup a lot of VMware VMs as well as physical hosts.
I expect my backup hardware could back up concurrent clients, but it would 
hammer the
vmware storage if we did more than a couple of *those* concurrently.

We can't be the only ones with this problem. 

In practice we just keep the concurrency down and we make it fit in our backup 
window, 
but that won't scale infinitely.
