[Bacula-users] Bacula Consulting..?

We've currently got two bacula installations backing up ~50 servers. I'm struggling with the tape rotation configuration with the autochanger amongst other issues. Bacula often asks for tapes which aren't in the library and i'd like someone to connect remotely, go over our config files and fix it

[Bacula-users] Email to certain users

How do I setup the messages of backup jobs of only certain servers to certain ppl. Right now the ppl that get notified get notified about every server being backed up. They only want to get notified about 3 of the servers we backup. How can I set bacula up to do that? I'm using bacula 2.0.2.
