No. It's down to what your OS and hardware can cope with. However, I  
would have thought that disc space would be more of an issue that  
handling connections. Given a 500Gb drive and 10G accounts, that's  
still a maximum of 50 simultaneous connections. And the backup client  
(in lazy mode) adds a random factor to the sync interval to try and  
even out the load on the server.
