FYI, I see value in not running the RunAfterJob.  Why not keep that backup
copy right there... just in case it is needed.  After all, if you need it,
you don't usually have access to Bacula, because you don't have your
Catalog.

FWIW, I copy the database dump to several other servers as well, local and
remote.
