I don't know if I would call it a best practice, but I have a
handful of manual archiving jobs defined that all use the following
schedule resource:
Schedule {
Name = "Manual"
# Run = Level=Full Pool=Default sunday at 10:05
}
Don't know if the commented-out "Run..." line can be safely
removed or not, but I'm including it here since it was in
my running bacula-dir.conf file.
I also don't know if simply omitting the schedule definition line
from the job definition will have the same result, but I think
that it helps make my job configs more readable by saying that
it is a "Manual" schedule. (This will also work for jobs kicked
off via bconsole script input instead of the Bacula scheduler,
FWIW.)

You could set a one-day retention period for this job, but my
$0.02 is to leave it in the catalog and keep the bootstrap file
around just in case you need to restore from it. Also, since
Catalog is defined per-client in the config file, you could make
a second catalog for this job so that it doesn't pollute your
default one with archived entries.
Hope this helps.....
