In my case, my USB or tape backup is a 'in case of emergency only'
backup. It will not be used for restore unless something has gone
spectacularly wrong (eg backup server destroyed, site destroyed). Any
normal restore will be done from the fixed onsite media. That being the
case, I just purge the full offsite job as soon as it has been run.
Before the purge I take a copy of the catalog too to make any restore a
bit easier. My offsite job is a VirtualFull in most cases.

For the catalog backup when using USB disk, I don't even bother doing it
as a bacula job, I just store it on the disk.
