Yes, but see Bruno's post on this - which also shows you how to change 
things (also change the catalog fileset in bacula-dir.conf).

Keep the dump on local disk if at all possible. Writing out to NFS will 
probably increase the dump time by a factor of 3 as well as increasing 
the time taken to write back to tape.

If you don't need bacula.sql, then enable the runafterjob line which 
deletes the dump once it's written to tape.

See also other comments about dumping the database directly to tape 
without the intermediate database step (We keep the last 10 dumps on 
disk, so I prefer the way it's setup by default)
