After adding a host, select it in the left host drop-down and click the
'edit config' link. For a windows target in the Xfer section you'll
need to set XferMethod to smb and one or more SmbShareName entries to
match what you want to back up. You'll need a SmbShareUserName that is
in the administrator or backup user group and you can use the hidden
administrative shares (drive letter followed by $) like C$ if you want.
Be sure to click the 'save' button that will turn red when you make any
changes.
I prefer to have hostnames in DNS so you don't have to worry about
windows name resolution, but in the 'Backup Settings' there are some
options about how backuppc finds the IP address. If the target host is
not in DNS, it usually works to run the browser from that host, go to
it's host page, and click the 'start full backup' button from there and
it will try the IP address from the browser connection.
If your target host is Linux, you'll need to set up ssh keys for
passwordless connections and you'll probably want rsync or tar as the
XferMethod.
