If you have all the names local, then why are you backing it up by IP
address?  I'd expect that the client name will need to match the local
hostname.  If the client name is an IP address, then that match is going
to fail.

So this is saying that your backup server cannot reach 192.168.1.170
either via rsh or via nsrexec.  Can you reach the nsrexecd port on the
client from the server?  Is there a general network connectivity issue
here rather than a name lookup problem?
