Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is that I really have different
retention policies depending on the server being backed up. This means that in
my bacula directory configuration I need to use one pool definition per server.
This has the nice aspect that I have volumes per server and can label them
appropriately.
How would your method work in my case? I simply can't use a generic schedule
definition with pool parameter due to my many pools.

No, you don't have to double everything. You can keep all your job
definitions and filesets that you have already defined, you just have to
add the second pool, and define that as the target in the schedule.
Let's suppose you've created two pools called "weekly" and "daily" (you
can name them however you want) this is what you'd put in your schedule:
Run = Level=Full Pool=weekly sun at 1:00
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=daily mon-sat at 1:00
You'll then have to make sure that pool "weekly" has a retention persiod
of 14 days and "daily" has a retention period of 7 days.
As to your question if it's recommended to have separate pools for each
client ... that depends on your backup concept. If you are going to
store all backups on one storage device, and if they have the same
criteria for backup retention, having separate pools for each client has
no advantage. It just makes your configuration unecessarily complex.
I would only recommend separate pools if there's a particular reason for it.
