I managed to trip myself up with the dhcp flag. I had checked dhcp for each of the hosts but never set DHCPAddressRanges. So the hosts were not found (even tho' I had put their IP address in /etc/hosts) and at wakeup time, BackupPC just skipped the hosts it couldn't locate. In the docs it is explained clearly: 1- Check dhcp only for hosts that don't respond to nmblookup 2- If dhcp is checked you *must* set a DHCPAddressRange So, since nmblookup did work, I un-checked dhcp for the hosts, and now all is well. Conclusion- RTFM more carefully Maybe some judicious use of bold or red font in the documentation might have helped to avoid getting caught up on points like this.
