How large will be your deployment? More then 2000 clients and more then
100M files? If no forget about it. You can handle it easily with a single
Director and single Catalog database.

What do you mean?
The only solution to verify any kind of write is a read. If you want to
verify that your backup is correct is you should perform a restore.

How many backup clients will you plan to deploy?
I bet you will have a performance problem with server network throughput
bottleneck first then Director. A single Bacula Client with a single Job
can saturate 1Gbit/s Ethernet without a problem (if you know what hardware
you require and how to setup it correctly). Why do you think a Bacula
Director cannot handle 1 client with one job running? :) In this case you
should separate Storage Daemon server from Director then install next
Storage Daemon, then another SD and another...
