Hi all:

I run multiple backupc servers over wan's and I am trying to implement
the following logic:

  If the host being backed up by the backuppc server is at the same
    site as the backuppc server, do not add --bwlimit to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.

  If the host being backed up by the backuppc server is at a different
    site, add "--bwlimit=64" to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.

Ideally this should be placed into the config.pl so it works for all
hosts, but I don't see any way to get the current hostname when the
configuration is loaded.

While I can create 100+ pc/hostname.pl files, this gets very messy
very quickly since I have to have at least two copies of each
pc/hostname.pl file for the two (or more) backup servers that are
backing up the data on the host. I have done this before with other
backup systems, and trying to audit and verify the configuration is a
total mess.

I would like to allow this to be overidden by pc/hostname.pl files as
there will be a dozen or so that need to have special bwlimit settings
because of the amount of data that they transfer, but this is maybe 20
files total, not the 200+ I am looking at having to manage.

So does anybody have any ideas? Is there a $Conf{CurrentHostName}
value I am not seeing? Other ideas on how to do this programatically?

Thanks.
