Thanks for the feedback and pointer to ClientNameAlias. This saves me
creating an alias at the OS level.
Here is the doc page:

Hi,
what I do is to have two different hosts in the server configuration
(myPC and myPC_photo), and both hosts have defined "ClientNameAlias"
to the same real host name address (IP or host name, but help says
dhcp must be disabled for the host). That way I can define two
completely separated backup strategies for two sets of folders on the
same host, it works like a charm.
Best regards,
Guillermo

I want to have a different strategy for backing up photos than for
backing up documents that I am editing. Basically, it would be a
rare
event to do a full backup of my photos. I assume that the host
name,
say myPC, must correspond to myPC.pl in the pc folder. Does it sound
reasonable to make myPC_photo an alias host name for myPC, and then
myPC_photo.pl would list its own folders and strategy for backing up?
