I want to run a verify of my backup job immediately following write to 
tape. The manual mentions this can be done, but I am not sure of the 
correct configuration. I would like reuse as much of the Backup Job config 
as possible (eg the same FileSet, Schecdule and Pool resources). Some 
questions:

i) Can I use the same Schedule resource? i.e.) If the backup jobs starts 
at 23:05, can I start the Verify at 23:05 also ? Or should I use something 
like the BackupCatalog Job that starts at 23:10 ?
ii) Should I assign a lower priority to the Verify Job ?
iii) Do I need to use the same FileSet resource ? Does bacula check if I
try to verify files that were not part of the Backup Job ?

Here is part of my bacula-dir.conf file. I have only changed three lines 
between the Backup and Verify jobs (Name,Type & Level). Is this 
sufficient ?
 Job {
  Name = "tape-test"
  Type = Backup
  Client = localhost-fd
  FileSet = "dept-test"
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
  Storage = TapeLibrary
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Default
  Write Bootstrap = "/opt/bacula/bacula/bin/working/tape-test.bsr"
  SpoolData = yes
}

Job {
  Name = "verify-tape-test"
  Type = Verify
  Level = VolumeToCatalog
  Client = localhost-fd
  FileSet = "dept-test"
  Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
  Storage = TapeLibrary
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Default
  Write Bootstrap = "/opt/bacula/bacula/bin/working/tape-test.bsr"
  SpoolData = yes
}

Thanks,
