Due to disk layout on my system, I have the DB dump stored elsewhere on my server, and I changed the catalog backup to not delete the DB dump. Assuming some kind of less catastrophic crash, my hope would be to restore the DB from the on-disk copy. I maintain the DB dump, bootstrap files and 'important' non-tape backups on a separate physical disk in my system.
Another perhaps interesting step that I took to give me more options after a crash was to write a script to more intelligently handle bootstrap files (i.e. eliminate unnecessary backup records when differential backups are used) and to copy them to a remote server I have access to via ssh. I can share my script if there is interest, it is only about 70 lines of python code--I haven't checked, but perhaps bacula has been changed to better handle differentials when writing bootstrap files natively.
