Re: [Bacula-users] Variables in bacula

i'm doing backups of local and remote clients (the remote clients doesn't have too much information so there is not a big problem doing that). I have remember thah i had used the domain name for the storage because i had used the same storage for all the clients (remote and local) but now i have a storage for every client so i don't have this problem anymore and i can use the local ip address for local backups which are the most important. Thank you so much
