If you think this kind of separation has any => real value other then "do separation - it is good" I'll be happy if you => will share it with me. I completely agree with Dan. I wouldn't even consider testing IBAdmin (or any other Bacula tool) that requires write access to the Bacula database. Putting it very bluntly, the data in Bacula's database is the only important component. Your tool -- and every other GUI front-end -- is a convenience, not a necessary part of the backup infrastructure, and your tool (and every other GUI front-end to Bacula) is much, much less mature and less trusted. I would not give a front-end tool unrestricted access to the database for the same reason why every user on the system does not have root privileges. Users who value the convenience of the install over the security of their data probably don't represent the typical bacula administrator. Their suggestions for the design of your product may not apply to the users you want to attract.
