The "Name" for each pool has to be unique.

Try something like

#Client 1
Pool {
Name = SVEXP01-Pool
...

}

#Client 2
Pool {
Name = SVEXP02-Pool
...
...
}

So, because I can't do this, which is the better way to organize Pools? I mean for example I work with 3 different departments both of them have at least 5 or more servers who need backup services. How you organize this?

There are several possibilities how to set up pools. \
You can have just one pool in which, say, 15 servers scattered over 3 different locations are backed up. You can also create 3 pools, one for each location, one pool per client or even 3 pools per client, making a total of 45 pools.
The last option is what I use. I use a pool for full backup, one for Differential and one for Incremental backups of client. Still each pool needs an unique name.

I could explain how pools, volumes and the rest works, but the Bacula documentation would be a better read. It takes some time to get familiar with it all, but a basic understanding of the main concepts is necessary to create a good backup strategy.

Please feel free to ask the questions you want to ask while or after reading the documentation.
