Re: [BackupPC-users] smb scheduled backup fails, but manual works
I had a similar problem on my home network when I set the DHCP flag in the conf/hosts file to 1. Setting it to 0 seemed to fix that problem. Since I don't have a DNS server on my home network I'm guessing it wasn't able to properly query the router for DHCP information, but it was still able to communicate to the client when I manually started a backup. If you manually specify the host in /etc/hosts and can ping it from the commandline, I believe setting the DHCP flag to 0 should fix the problem. Granted if the IP address of king-graham changes perhaps something else is amiss. Good luck.

[BackupPC-users] smb scheduled backup fails, but manual works
Hi, I have a problem where a scheduled smb backup does not run. The home page for that machine shows 'Pings to king-graham have failed 109 consecutive times.' However, I can ping the machine from the command line and I can manually start an incremental backup after which the home page shows 'Pings to king-graham have succeeded 2 consecutive times.' Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -- Chris - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
