Yes it does thanks. This is what I already started to define, just wanted to
clarify things. The server tuvalu has only one export called /export, so it
looks like I will need to define separate "hosts", each with a configuration
similar to:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'*' => [
'/export/home/a*',
]
};
And in /etc/BackupPC/hosts define
tuvalu-a 0 backuppc
tuvalu-b 0 backuppc
tuvalu-c 0 backuppc
...
And in /etc/hosts define so those hostnames are pingable.
192.168.xxx.xxx tuvalu-a
192.168.xxx.xxx tuvalu-b
192.168.xxx.xxx tuvalu-c
...
Alternatively you are saying I can combine all of these into a single server,
the config tuvalu.pl as:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'tuvalu-a' => ['/export/home/a*'],
'tuvalu-b' => ['/export/home/b*'],
'tuvalu-c' => ['/export/home/c*'],
};
This is what I am somewhat confused about, I basically want to separate each
letter of the alphabet on tuvalu:/export/home into a different backup set,
ideally on the same server definition but I can roll with the separate "hosts"
if I have to.

I've done this a couple of different ways.
Ideally, you put a directive like this in your tuvalu.pl config file:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['tuvalu-a', 'tuvalu-b', 'tuvalu-c', 'tuvalu-d',
'tuvalu-e', 'tuvalu-f', 'tuvalu-g'];
And that runs backups on each of those shares. They'll all appear under the
'tuvalu' tree in the backuppc pool.
If you find it necessary to build wholly separate configs for each share;
you put entries in /etc/backuppc/hosts like this:
tuvalu-a 0 backuppc
tuvalu-b 0 backuppc
tuvalu-c 0 backuppc
..
and then create tuvalu-a.pl, tuvalu-b.pl, tuvalu-c.pl...
within each of them, have a config something like this (abbreviated, obviously).
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'tuvalu';
$Conf{NmbLookupCmd} = '/bin/true';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'tuvalu-a';
Does this help clarify things?
