Hello Everyone, I've been a maintainer of an old install of backuppc until our server recently died. I've reinstalled and brought all other services back except for backuppc. Many of our backup clients are behind routers and I had been using the ClientNameAlias option in their respective config.pl files. However, when I try the test command: bash-4.1$ /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -f -v $CLIENT
I get the output: Name server doesn't know about $CLIENT; trying NetBios cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /usr/bin/nmblookup $CLIENT cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output querying $CLIENT on $UNREGISTERED_IP_ON_OUR_SUBNET name_query failed to find name $CLIENT NetBiosHostIPFind: couldn't find IP address for host $CLIENT host not found I'm a little confused by the output. I have the host setup with DHCP=0, and rsyncd is my backup method in /etc/config.pl. I'm not quite sure why backuppc is trying to use the hostname as a netbios name, and why it seems to ignore the router ip I provide in the client's config.pl file. More perplexing is that nmblookup seems to return an ip address, but that ip address is not in use. It won't resolve using nslookup, so I'm can't understand where it was found. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bruce ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
