I could be off, I'm pretty new to backuppc myself. From what I understand though, backuppc uses nmblookup, which means you have to be running smb services on the clients...in my case windows file services on mac.
I didn't like the idea of running smb solely for backuppc, so I used static dhcp assignment by mac address.
