The link Tom sent provides a way to create and uid/gid for a given 
user/group name, not for a specific uid/gid (i.e. you'll end up with a 
"bacula" user and group but the uid/gid may be different on each 
system). However, bacula does not need the uid/gid to be the same on 
multiple systems so that doesn't matter.

I never understood why bacula used that in the first place.
