This field is used for performance tuning and it controls the number of replication tasks that can execute concurrently (e.g. backup, copy, restore, etc).  Adjusting this field too high can have adverse affects on performance and it is not recommend you alter this option unless you are in an extremely demanding environment where you are performing incremental backups for 10 or more databases every 1 minute or something similar.
