You definitely shouldn't do that. BackupPC isn't aware that they point to
the same real host. Currently you have 6 "different" hosts, each with
their own configuration and backups.
With your proposed change, only one host ("A") would be visible (duplicate
lines will be ignored), and reference counts for the missing hosts would
not be included, which would cause pool files to be incorrectly purged.
If you no longer need the different backup schedules, you could disabled
backups on that particular "host", but you should still keep it around
until its backups have all expired or been deleted.
