I don't think so, but you could submit it

I don't think clients would need to be reconfigured.  The Director Name in the
bacula-fd.conf is arbibrary (can be different from the hostname), so a new
Director can be started on a different machine with the original name.

You could use admin jobs to schedule the syncing of data.
