Ken,
You can create host-specific config files, so you can make
$Conf{RsyncShareName} different for every machine you back up. A
host-specific config file is just like the standard config file, but it
only needs to include whatever lines are different from the standard
config file. So your machine1.pl file could be only one line long,
specifying the proper share to back up.
