 Yes. Change this and ALL instances of 127.0.0.1 or localhost to limit
 bacula to only the machine that the director runs on.

 Sorry my browser locked up because of an addon and I did not send what
 I intended..

 I meant change all instances of 127.0.0.1 and localhost to the
 external ip address unless you want to limit bacula to only the
 machine that the director is on.

 Some over secure distributions supply bacula with default
 configuration files that cause bacula to be a single machine backup
 server that can only backup itself and you can only connect to it on
 the server itself..

One of these distros is debian.
If you put the fqdn or hostname (as suggested by comments in the conf 
file) instead of the server IP address, check /etc/hosts and comment out 
or delete the line that has 127.0.0.1 and the hostname, otherwise the 
hostname will be translated to 127.0.0.1 and you'll be back to the start.

Got it, Marcello.

For now, I prefer to use IP but I'll remember that when I go to use the 
FQDN instead.

[Bacula-users] Bacula-dir.conf - the DirAddress variable

Hi, folks.

That's my first message to the bacula-users mailing list.

I searched in all the Bacula's documentation and didn't find the answer:

In the bacula-dir.conf file there is a variable named DirAddress (the 
default is 127.0.0.1). I think I should to change to my server's IP, but 
I'm not sure.

Director {# define myself
   Name = server-dir
   DIRport = 9101# where we listen for UA connections
   QueryFile = /etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql
   WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
   PidDirectory = /var/run/bacula
   Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
   Password = Cv70F6pf1t6pBopT4vQOnigDrR0v3L # Console password
   Messages = Daemon
   DirAddress = 127.0.0.1
}

Thanks in advance.
