You could use standard include ("@") feature of bacula configuration
files, for example:
in /etc/bacula/pool-default-values.conf:
Storage = "SystemStorage"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Volume Use Duration = 1 day
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
and in /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf:
Pool {
@/etc/bacula/pool-default-values.conf
Name = "SystemFullPool"
Volume Retention = 2 months
LabelFormat = "SystemFull-"
}
Pool {
@/etc/bacula/pool-default-values.conf
Name = "SystemDiffPool"
Volume Retention = 2 weeks
LabelFormat = "SystemDiff-"
}
Pool {
@/etc/bacula/pool-default-values.conf
Name = "SystemIncrPool"
Volume Retention = 1 week
LabelFormat = "SystemIncr-"
}
Much more readable and easier to maintain than original config:

It is even more advanced than including single files, for example you
could use something like:
@|"sh -c 'for f in /etc/bacula/clients.d/*.conf ; do echo @${f} ; done'"
which would include all *.conf files in /etc/bacula/clients.d/
We use that to allow different admins to edit configurations only for
their clients...
Of course you can use any external command here; for example you
could call perl script using DBI which would generate all or part of
your config files from SQL database or for example from nagios
configuration files or whatever...
