Re: [BackupPC-users] Phantom host

[Ethan Tarr]

As far as I know, because there are a few other techs here that might’ve done 
something. But I doubt it, the one most likely to have changed something has 
been busy with other projects lately.

I will ask around, and also check MAC addresses, thanks for the suggestion.

As far as you know, or you know for sure it hasn't?

Make several arp checks anyway, with all machines on line, 'cos this
looks like a MAC conflict.

Nothing has changed, as far as I know.

Did you add something to this network, or did you change/replace an
Ethernet card on any of the machines/device/IoT/etc?

[BackupPC-users] Phantom host

[Ethan Tarr]

I’m having a funny issue with a host. A few weeks ago, the machine running 
BackupPC lost the ability to find the NetBIOS name of a laptop (10.1.10.121) on 
the network. I eventually just resolved the issue by adding an entry to the 
hosts file, but one of the first things I tried while troubleshooting was to 
check the DHCP box for that laptop in Hosts.

[BackupPC-users] Backup hung well past timeout value

[Jenkins, Wade William]

I’ve got the timeout for my backups set at 36000 seconds (10hrs).  I’ve 
currently got two backups that appear to have been hung/inactive for almost 5 
days.

I’m trying to dig through the logs and see what might have happened, but I 
can’t figure out why it would a backup would persist that far beyond the 
timeout value.  Any help?

-Wade
