This is not easily possible with an out-of-the-box configuration of Bacula, but using the ability to read configuration data from an external file at run time you can do something like it... Set up a backup job that reads its file list from a file. Dynamically selecting the client to back up from is more difficult as you'll need to set up the client accordingly, too.
