Do you think a separate section regarding concurrent jobs would be necessary, that extends the existing contents in "Tips and Suggestions"? > The best place I found was > in the "Configuring the Director" page within the Job resource section > (search for "distinct" on that page). > > I think I understand what I need to do, but I don't understand why.

That indicates that Bacula would run jobs concurrently if you hadn't set up your jobs to require different volumes. More detailed information about your pools and job settings would be helpful to explain that.
