Depending how the jobs are going to be scheduled... if they all want to be 
run concurrently, the above is fine. But if the jobs are to be run at 
different times, say all clients at 1am, 2 am and 3 am to different servers, 
it might be more descriptive to specify the pool and storage in schedule 
overrides. This would require only one "jobdef" (contains almost 
everything), one "job" per client (specifies only the client) and one common 
"schedule" (three different times per night, different overrides for each)

Anyway, there are too many "right" ways to do things like this...
