[Bacula-users] bootstrap/.bsr files and file storage

I'm looking into this as well for my disk-only v3.0.0 Bacula system.  
Currently, I have the bootstrap .bsr file stored locally by default on the 
dir/sd in /var/lib/bacula/bin/working.

In the Install and Configuration Guide for v3.0.0, on page 37, section 3.1 
Critical Items, one of the bullet points states "Write a bootstrap file to a 
separate system for each backup job."  Presumably, this separate system could 
mean the same hard drive where the volume exists.

In my bacula-sd configuration file, I specify device:
Device {
...
  Media Type = File
  Archive Device = /mnt/bacula/volumes
...
}

As suggested by Install and Configuration Guide to store the bootstrap file on 
a separate system, I could specify a Job to Write Bootstrap as such:
Job {
  Name = client
...
  Write Bootstrap = "/mnt/bacula/volumes/bootstraps/client.bsr"
}

Same question as morty:  Would storing the bootstrap on the same hard drive as 
the volume be the best method for storing the bootstrap on a separate system?
