There are so many options, many are optional. In some ways each configuration is different. The database would be very complicated. IMHO, XML format is best suited for config files. I am sure there are lots of users like me who do not use web setup for bacula. I generate my config files using a perl script. If I wanted to use database I can create my custom database and use perl script to read database and generated config files (current format or XML).
