It sounds to me as a Disaster Recovery solution and absolutely no High
Availability. In any HA solution you would assure that your services are
running the highest uptime possible and this kind of solution in most cases
is implemented with clusters. In this case you can loose currently
uncommitted data (running jobs) but your services are ready to proceed next
jobs as soon as possible.

HA implementation in Bacula is extremely straightforward when using a
shared storage clustering solution.

This is a Disaster Recovery solution. A One-Way Failover. :)
