No. Generally you want to start a certain number of machines, at a time. In your case that could feasibly be all of them (20). Make one Schedule and for each Client create a Job for backing up each Client. I setup a File Storage device for each Client. You can them set a limit for the maximum number of Jobs for your DIR and SD to keep control on the system. You could also manipulate the ordering of each Job by setting its priority appropriately. Resources: Job x20 Client x20 Storage x20 Schedule x1 You might also want to setup a separate database for each client's catalogue, which might (does?) allow for more jobs to run at once. I would guess that 20 concurrent jobs each with their own sqlite2 database would run quicker than 20 concurrent jobs sharing a single MySQL database (on the same system, multi-system setups are another matter). I plan to run some tests in this area soon...
