All my bacula installations bacula-dir and bacula-sd reside in individual Linux-VServers (http://linux-vserver.org/), basically because I use them everywhere anyway. They have own IP-Adresses and are accessible via them. A user can have root inside to do all things I'd imagine to be needed for a bacula-tutorial, but they can't change IPs or add iptable rules. From the host view, it is just directories containing the vservers, you can e.g. use tar and stash them away and extract again later for the next attempt. In the special case of linux-vserver there is another thing called 'unification', the binaries can be hardlinked between the different VServers with added copy-on-write link breaking. That way you safe space on disk (not important), but as they are the same inode in all VServers, Linux shared memory management will just load the static stuff once for all VServers and this safes quite a bit of ram if you have many instances. Similar things with linux are done by openvz or lxc, on Solaris and various BSD-variants it is very likely called jail or container.
