tl;dr: RTFM

Bacula Enterprise has full restricted-user controls, if desired.

ie: User X can only access a subset of backups, user Y can only access a
different subset.

That's also there in community version 7.2 - see section 20.4 of the
main reference manual.


HOWEVER: In a network with "hundreds of hosts", you really should be
taking enterprise support and not trying to cut corners by using the
community version.
