Hello all,

I'm just beginning with BackupPc, my main goal is to backup the single Linux smb server of a brand new small company
and when it will be ok, then I will try to save some Windows 10 laptops.
Well, both smb server and BackupPc server are running Centos 7.
I've installed the whole stuff using "/yum install backuppc/" and I'm just trying to use it by now.

I've got a problem with the netbios name and the way BackupPc is supposed to find hosts :

- I've read that i/f gethostbyname() fails, BackupPC then attempts a NetBios multicast to find the host/ - running by hand "/nmblookup/" on the BacpupPc side runs well, the result is as follows :

  nmblookup myshare
  192.168.1.10 myshare <00>

- so I guess all is ok.

Unfortunately, if I add a host with the netbios name, it does not work at all
If I add the same host using his IP address, then it works fine !

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

François Dagorn
