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
