Uhhh ... No. Creating different jobs (and therefore different
schedules, if you think about it) for every level of every client's
backups would be wasteful duplication.
I think you'll agree that the Name field needs to exist in the Job
record so that the Director can tell one job from another. The Client
field is needed so that Bacula knows which client it's supposed to back
up. I'm baffled as to how you think Bacula could possibly operate if
jobs had no name to distinguish them and didn't specify which client
they were supposed to operate on.
