You need to leave the ClientNameAlias = localhost
It works like this: ssh -fC administra...@remotehost.com -L 8876:10.0.0.254:873 sleep 20 1) the ssh tunnel is created between localhost on port 8876 (where localhost is implied not specified. ie localhost is forced, because that is where you ran the command (ssh)) and 10.0.0.254:873 relative to remotehost.com 2) backuppc then connects to clientnamealias on the configured port number (should be 8876 in this example).
