Several possibilities:
1. Use a link to a single config file in your /etc/backuppc/pc
directory. e.g.,
pc1a.pl --> group1.pl
pc1b.pl --> group1.pl
pc1c.pl --> group1.pl
2. Use Perl code like:
my $hostname = $_[1];
if($hostname =~ /^(pc1a|pc1b|pc1c)$/) { #Group 1 configs
...
}elsif($hostname =~ /^(pc2a|pc2b|pc2c$/) { #Group2 configs
...
}else { #Default
...
}
