The thing most likely to fix itself over time would be name resolution
for a DHCP client.  Do you know how the name is registered after the
machine is connected?  And then how it propagates to your DNS service?

If your pings are successful, then check your blackout hours.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC 3.3.0 does not traverse all hosts

2018-01-12 Thread Adam Pribyl 
I am using BackupPC for many years, after update from 3.2.1 (Debian 7) to 
3.3.0 (Debian 8) the backuppc does not traverse all hosts during the night 
the same way as the previous version does i.e. I have a hosts that are not 
backed up for up to 3 days.


I thoroughly merged the backuppc config files (there were no significant 
changes). I do have:


$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1;
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6 ];
$Conf{MaxBackups} = 4;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = '0.97';

but the backups are started only at 01:00 roughly 20 of more than 60 
hosts. Sometimes something is started a 02:00 but the rest of the pool is 
not backuped up that day, even thou the backuppc wakes up at 03:00-06:00 
with all the previous jobs finished, but it does not continue with the 
rest of the pool. I have now every host backed up only once every 3 days, 
instead every day.


Host  ↓User #Full Full Age (days) Full Size (GB) Speed (MB/s) #Incr Incr Age (days) Last Backup (days) State #Xfer errs Last attempt 
bbb 	spr 	12 	5.1 	0.89 	0.22 	12 	0.2 	0.2 	idle 	3 	idle

ccc spr 12  15.14.820.4912  2.3 2.3 idle
3   idle
ddd spr 12  14.20.170.1912  1.3 1.3 idle
1   idle


Is there any known change in the behavior?


Thanks
