I am running my backup server on an internal lan, right now all the clients and storage is all on one computer.   This being said I can not do a backup.  I keep being told the storage daemon is failing encryption.

How do I disable this, it is not needed or wanted, just causing more headaches.

Interesting note here.   The TLS errors only happen when backing up to my autochanger, not to local harddrive.   Both are on the same computer as the director.

Well here's the list of configuration you have to change the default yes to no to disable TLS everywhere with the link to the documentation
