Ability to backup more than one virtual machine at a time in the same job

I would like to see the ability to backup more than one virtual machine at a time in the same backup job. Currently, if you create a backup job through vCenter, the job runs and will backup the first vm, then the second vm, etc. This causes users with large numbers of virtual machines to create multiple backup jobs to run at the same time in order to have virtual machine backups completed during the backup window. I would like the ability to tell Backup Exec to backup three virtual machines. This allows many more backups to occur simultaneously to fully utilize resources in the environment.

Ideally, there would need to be an option in the virtual machine backup job that tells Backup Exec how many virtual machines to backup at one time. Then the user can determine number of vm's vs performance. This will make backups much easier to manage and audit.
