Depends on the situation, network traffic, the machines activity (both of
them) hard disc speed and a bit of luck. Lots of other factors involved
besides the ones I've mentioned. You'd need to have a close look to work out
how much better it could be.

I don't know about the possibilities of doing this directly in Bacula, but in
FreeBSD you could use altq or dummynet to apply bandwidth restrictions on
individual clients, or on Bacula as a whole.

Yes. When creating your configuration you will need to create a separate file
storage device for each section you want to be able to run in parallel. I have
each PC I backup on its own device so I can run all their jobs at once, for
backing up our Samba shares I have a single device which all the samba
related backups use, getting queued up until the device becomes free.
// serial setup
Job {
Name = "backup-samba-shares"
JobDefs = "HourlyJob"
FileSet = "Samba Shares Set"
Storage = samba-st
Full Backup Pool = "samba-shares-fp"
Incremental Backup Pool = "samba-shares-ip"
}
Device {
Name = samba-fs
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /raidb/bacula/samba
LabelMedia = yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
// parallel setup
Job {
Name = "backup-mushroom"
JobDefs = "EarlyJob"
Client = mushroom
FileSet = "Windows 2000 Full Set"
Full Backup Pool = "mushroom-fp"
Incremental Backup Pool = "mushroom-ip"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/pc.mushroom.bsr"
Storage = mushroom-st
}
Device {
Name = mushroom-fs
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /raid/bacula/pc/mushroom
LabelMedia = yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
