In our configuration, the *Admin workstation*, *Database server*and
*Backup server* are all on the same machine, the `bacula::director`.
Volumes are stored in the storage daemon, in
`/srv/backups/bacula/`. Each client stores its volumes in a separate
directory, which makes it easier to purge offline clients and evaluate
disk usage.
We do not have a [bootstrap file](https://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Bootstrap_File.html) as advised by the upstream
documentation because we do not use tapes or tape libraries, which
make it harder to find volumes. Instead, our catalog is backed up in
`/srv/backups/bacula/Catalog` and each backup contains a single file,
the compressed database dump, which is sufficient to re-bootstrap the
director.
See the [introductio to Bacula](https://www.bacula.org/9.4.x-manuals/en/main/What_is_Bacula.html#SECTION00220000000000000000) for more information on those
distinctions.
