We do this, using the method Wanda suggests. We tried it using just different management classes, but there was bleed-over and we had some backed-up data retained for a lot longer than we had intended. Using different domains, as Wanda suggests, made it work the way we wanted.
Just use include/exclude to make sure each one is backing up only the data you want it to back up. It's easy to make a mistake and either back up some data twice, or never.
