I just added it to the storage section; it seems to have been removed somehow. >> Can someone please explain to me why bacula still is not able to run >> concurrent Jobs?

When having a look at the FD hosts, bacula-fd doesn't really pop up when running 'top', nor does the system's load increase a lot (these machines are also quite over dimensioned for their purpose). But that's of later concern, I'd be very very happy if I would be able to get concurrent jobs to work first.
