I think this is a typical requirement of ISP as the server getting backup  are not under the Backup administrators control.

One way to do it is..
1. Create a storage resource dedicate to that client
2. Restrict the volume size to max value you want to restrict for that client.

The above thing will do below things
1. The jobs will run until they hit the max value.
2. If the job is running and the Max value reached..that perticular job will simply fail after max time wait.

Is that you needed.

No, there is not.  I'm not sure why you would want to do such a thing.
It sounds like a way to force your backups to be truncated.  If you want
to reduce the amount of data saved by your backups, perhaps a better
approach would be to tune the fileset to make sure the most important
data gets saved.
