Hello Thanks you very much for your explanation Bruno. I understand better how bareos works.
My objective is to backup multiple production servers on disk (in a specific directory) at the same time and several development servers on disk too (in a directory different from those in production). So I was only interested in disk backups. Before your answer, I studied the reference manual on bareos, I concluded that a job can only backup one client. If I want to backup several clients then I have to create as many jobs as I have client to backup. If I want to backup several clients at the same time, I must run several jobs at the same time. As bareos works as if it was connected to a tape drive then by default (one device with a single storage and without data spooling) it can not run several jobs at the same time because of the concurrent disk jobs. According to reference manual, to resolve the concurrent disk jobs problem, several devices must be created at the storage daemon. As I have several production servers (about 20), I will have to create 20 devices then an additional device for each new production servers to backup. So, I would like to know if bareos server have a software limit on the number of device to create.
