Rodrigo's suggestions are good ones. Sounds like ping is not
reliable.
FYI, you can see exactly what BackupPC is doing by running:
su backuppc
BackupPC_dump -v -f merkur
and look at the output. It should show you the exact commands and
steps it is taking.
If it is just ping that is unreliable (unlikely) you can disable
the ping command by setting $Conf{PingCmd} to '/bin/true'. But
it is likely that the next command (eg: ssh or rsync) will fail
if the network is unreliable.
