I have not heard of any work being done in this area. Funny. I guess I don't understand the question. You can set up the SD devices to allow multiple concurrent jobs. For tape storage, the number of drives is "fixed enough" in the sense that adding more drives doesn't happen often enough to need a dynamic SD reconfiguration IMO, so I suppose you're talking about disk file based volumes. With specific requirements I can think about the need for a storage device per client, but I wouldn't want such a configuration monster :-) so I prefer to find a solution where I get what I want with a fine-grained pool setup, and only one or, possibly, a very limited number of storage devices. > > Doesn't anyone besides me miss this?

That's implemented now, and has been around as long as I know Bacula. IIRC.
