With help from people on the list I came up with this for my clients because
I have a lot of them to. I've taken the approach similar to Apache on Debian
with a clients-available folder where the configs are stored, once file for
each client and a clients-enabled where I symlink to client-available for
clients that I want enabled.

A sample of my client config file is:
Client {
  Name = laforge-fd
  Address = laforge
  Catalog = MyCatalog
  Password = "mysecret"          # password for FileDaemon
  File Retention = 2 years            # 2 years
  Job Retention = 5 years            # 5 years
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

Job {
  Name = "laforge"
  JobDefs = "NightlySave"
  Client = laforge-fd
  FileSet = "LinuxCore"
  Priority = 20
}

I then include the following in my bacula-dir.conf file

# include all config in /etc/bacula/clients-enabled
@|"sh -c 'cat /etc/bacula/clients-enabled/*'"

That line reads the contents of all files in the clients-enabled directory
and loads them into the director configuration.

I have also done a similar thing with filesets since I have a few of them.
This has drastically reduced the size of my config files and makes it much
easier to read.
