First of all this is a bit confusing. Are you saying you have 1TB of
data to store and 1.5TB to store it in on the backup server?

I suggest you read the overview of how Bacula works at 
http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/index.html
starting with the "Bacula Components or Services" section.

You may then wish to jump to the tutorial at
http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Brief_Tutorial.html
which runs through how to setup multiple clients.
