That's a bit difficult.

In my opinion, you don't want to have users (even if they are paying 
clients) modifying the backup configuration.

I believe that you should either provide them with a simple front-end 
where thy can select which directories to back up, and how long to 
keep these backups, and when to run them and you create a the 
necessary resources from it which can then be included in Bacula 
configuration.

I wouldn't allow them real access to the configuration.

The point is - *you*'d have to create that front-end.

Generating a configuration (part) from, for example, information 
stored in a database and some template is rather simple, though. The 
hard part is getting the information there :-)
