Someone suggested to use the serverv2v2 root account to connect the backuppc
user in the network, but for ssh is a security risk to allow root to
connect, is there another way to configure the connection to a network linux
server to execute backuppc backups?

By the way both linux servers are Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Hello!

I have installed BackupPC on the backup server and I am able to connect
to web interface fine.  This server is called server2.

I have a another server called serverv2v2 which I want to backup from
the server2 machine.

I can ssh backuppc@serverv2v2 without password from server2.

I added the serverv2v2 machine in the backuppc host file and created the
serverv2v2.pl

The machine has non-DHCP IP so I set the host DHCP to 0

running nmblookup serverv2v2 fails, but ping serverv2v2 is succesfull.
I have a DNS server in the same network.  Both server2 and serverv2v2
are on the same subnet/mask and connect to each other using ssh.

I set the ClientNameAlias of serverv2v2 to the static IP of serverv2v2

I executed a manual Full backup for serverv2v2, but when I looked the
backup content I see the files are not from serverv2v2, but instead are
from server2

What I am missing?
