You don't really need to do anything, since Bacula is responsible to copy data
from the clients to the storage daemon (socket connection).
If you want to make a local backup on the remote sites, you can have a Bacula
storage daemon on them to make the backups and configure a copy job to your
main site.

I don't think there is anything special, but your network appliances can be a
bottleneck, eventually.
