There is ACL support in the client. However I am not too familiar with
that (and what it prevents access to) since I do not use it on my
network. You may want to use a separate database per client. That way
the client will only see their stuff. This however will make it harder
to manage your bacula volumes since I do not believe you can safely
use the same bacula database in more than one catalog.
