You do not need to add new Pools and Schedules for additional clients,
unless you want a dedicated Pool per client or need to back up every
client on a unique schedule. You do need a Client definition, and at
least one Job for that Client. If most of your Jobs are close to
identical, put the parts that don't change in a JobDefs record and
reference that.
