The data will be sent blocked as defined in bacula-fd in each client. If the SD does not have the same blocking factor, you will either waste space (if the SD buffer is bigger) or the SD will do two reads to get a single FD block (if the SD buffer is smaller). Unless there is a bug, the transfer *should* work if the two sizes are not the same.
