No, you don't need anything in /etc/hosts. That's what this line in
tuvalu-a.pl takes care of:
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'tuvalu';

not $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}, rather $Conf{RsyncShareName} (or
$Conf{SmbShareName} if you're using SMB as your mechanism).

Depends what you mean by a 'different backup'.
If you have all the shares collected under one backup profile as a list
under $Conf{RsyncShareName}; then they all get backed up at the same time
(and if one fails, you have a bit more trouble getting backups of all of
them).
If you want the backups of each share to be fully independent, then you need
to set up separate backup 'profiles' of each. That will allow the backups to
be done at different times (be careful not to allow them to collide); and if
one fails, the others might succeed. Also means that each backup will take
much less time. The downside is the added complexity.
