I do something similar. The key is to set $Conf{NmbLookupCmd} to empty
string. There is a condition in BackupPC_Dump that checks
$Conf{NmbLookupCmd} eq "" and returns without doing the mismatch check.
Now that I think about it, this might be a bug.
$Conf{FixedIPNetBiosNameCheck} reads like it's supposed to control whether
or not to perform this check. The entire condition reads:
return if ( $hostIP eq $host && !$Conf{FixedIPNetBiosNameCheck}
|| $Conf{NmbLookupCmd} eq "" );
I think that && should be a ||
