Example Director Configuration File

An example Director configuration file might be the following:
#
# Default Bacula Director Configuration file
#
#  For Bacula release 16.0.6 (26 May 2023) -- redhat (Core)
#
#  You might want to change the default email address
#  from root to your email address.  See the "mail" and
#  "operator" directives in the Messages resource.
