The catalog does not need to run on the bacula server. I have had my database on a different server than the director for over a decade. Although as far as bacula is concerned for most of this time you could not compile in support for multiple different database types (mysql, sqlite, postgres). I believe bacula 5.2.X changed that and now you can compile in support for more than 1 database although I have never tested using more than 1 database type. I know you can have more than 1 catalog though and catalogs can be on any server that is accessible to the director and storage daemons.
