If I'm understanding you correctly, and my limited experience with
Bacula is correct, can I suggest a different mindset. One more fileset,
than OS/boxen orientated.
Use your OS fileset template to backup core/idential file structures,
then have additional filesets to backup the boxen/special application
specific directories.
E.g. for all MSWin boxen, the template fileset is like
"C:/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents/"
and for specific applications/special user, there is an additional
specific fileset, e.g.
"C:/myob" or
"C:/Program Files/some-application"
Also has the advantage of load splitting/ balancing at the cost of a
second job, but if planned carefully, faster recovery of core
application data as you can recover that data much quicker and first
before you start recovering the non-critical bulk.
I do something similar on our Linux file server where each files
structure is backed up under a seperate fileset. Each fileset relates to
a seperate purpose; aka set1 is shared user data, set2 is image data and
set3 is IT data {:-)
