+          in /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/director/bareos-dir.conf everytime.
+          The bareos_dir role is also intended to deploy the client (Filedaemon) configurations on
+          the Director. If multiple separate repositories are used then this variable can be set to false,
+          so not all repositories overwrite the "global" Director configuration.
