I simply use the per-host config to override the ping command with /bin/true on those cases...

Hi all, especially big Hello to Craig from an old school friend.

BackupPC 3.2.0 / Debian lenny / 90% of hosts on network backup as they are able to be Ping'd successfully, however 3 hosts are not able to be ping'd (yes, they are there and alive, nmblookup fails, the hosts (external) must have iptables that drop ICMP ping requests.

Is there a way to configure BackupPC to backup these hosts regardless?

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Regards,

Ed Cox
