Performance hit would be with restore as the drive would have to seek all over the drive to recover the data, pretty nominal or a disk drive, a big deal for tapes. I don't know exactly how to do it for disk, but for tapes, you have to be sure that "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" is set in the Director stanza, Client Stanza, the Job or JobDefs stanza, Storage stanza in the director conf and in the Storage stanza in the bacula-sd conf.
