Just add everything you want to /etc/hosts on the backuppc server.

Thank you! You're completely right. When it says
2024-04-05 15:28:10 Can't find host myhost.com via NS and netbios
2024-04-05 15:28:10 can't ping (client = myhost.com); exiting
It seems like the first line is the real failure, and the ping is
never attempted.
Apologies for the list to cutting the log entry too short in my
original post.
I guess this is my fault due to my setup. I have several systems at a
single dynamic ip. I have backupPC set up like so:
host1.myhost.com
host2.myhost.com
host3.myhost.com
...
The backuppc user's ssh config file has each of those hosts configured
with different ports:
Host host1.myhost.com
Hostname myhost.com
Port 11111
User root
Host host2.myhost.com
Hostname myhost.com
Port 11112
User root
Host host3.myhost.com
Hostname myhost.com
Port 11113
User root
...
This way the backuppc user can ssh host3.myhost.com and be logged in
to the proper system automatically.
I guess now my goal is to find out how to make backuppc bypass the dns
check, or to check myhost.com instead of hostx.myhost.com.
Though perhaps I'm way off base and there's a better way of
configuring all of this.

Have you tried adding an entry to your hosts file just to get past
this and allow further troubleshooting?

Pretty sure, 'which true' returns '/usr/bin/true'. Though, on my
system
true also exists at /bin/true, so I tried that as well just now.
Same
result.
I've also tried placing scripts in the PingCmd field and they do not
appear to execute.
Thanks,
Ian
