OK. I have never used tapes with Bacula. But I'd expect a file-type device to be able to load more than 1 volume at a time. It's quite trivial, isn't it? Anyway, the "1 volume at a time"-limit has always been "one job at a time" in my head, because I put every job into separate volume/file (which makes the most sense in disk-based backups, to my mind). And when 5.0 was released with possibility to change limits of concurrent jobs for a device, I thought: "That's what I've been waiting for!". Thus the confusion.
