Hello, I just started with more catalogs too ;o) There is bacula-dir.conf
example below. Remember that client1 and client2 can be actually one real
host, not just two different. You can switch between catalogs using use
in bconsole. You just need to know, that these are two completely different
databases and they are both filled with your configuration bacula-dir.conf,
but some things like tapes are not usually directly in configuration, so you
have to distribute or copy tape records between catalogs by hand. At least
I think - I did not find anything better, than to use many delete commands
in one catalog and many add commands in the second catalog (I have moved
some tapes from one catalog to the second.).

Client {
  Name = client1
  ...
  Catalog = cat1
  ...
}

Client {
  Name = client2
  ...
  Catalog = cat2
  ...
}

Catalog {
  Name = cat1
  dbname = db1; user = user; password = pass
}

Catalog {
  Name = cat2
  dbname = db2; user = user; password = pass
}
