However are you saying that you are using 1 single job for everything? I would say it is much better to have 1 job per client and that way the different backup levels make sense (Full, Incremental, Differential). As if you do a Full backup with the first client how can you do an incremental with a second client since the incremental will be based on the last full job ran?
