This is telling you that there it can't find the hostname you have asked
it to connect to. However, I think you are mad/crazy for trying to
backup the local linux machine using samba.

In my personal preference order you should use:
1) sudo + rsync or rsync over ssh to localhost
2) sudo + tar or tar over ssh to localhost
3) rsync
4) tar

There are no other methods to consider!

The reason I suggest rsync options first is to allow better detection of
deleted/renamed files, though there are no other benefits that I am
aware of.

Configuring localhost backups should be done exactly the same as all
your other hosts, except instead of using ssh you can use sudo. Search
this mailing list as there are plenty of examples on how to do this.

Regards,
Adam
