Hello,
I am trying to backup openvz containers from a Proxmox server.
Proxmox provides a tool called vzdump. It handles snapshoting the
container, packing config files and stuff for me. It outputs a tar on
stdout. I wanted to pull this tar with backuppc, but I figured out that
backuppc can't h

Hi George,
Have you considered using Avahi/Zeroconf/Bonjour to look up your hosts?
This usually will result in wired interfaces being used before wireless,
and takes care of changing IP addresses for you.
Use $Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'hostname.local' for each host. On most Linux
desktops and Macs
