I'm not clear if you're trying to avoid lots of physical devices or lots of bacula storage device definitions. You could create one Device {} entry per client in the bacula-sd.conf. These each correspond to a different directory on some filesystem. You then run each backup to its own file Device -- these can all happen concurrently. You should then be able to migrate each one in turn to tape. Or maybe I've missed something?
