I have access to a NAS only over NFS to my backup server that I want to backup 
using the tar "xfer" method. I want the per host level control (e.g. schedule) 
for individual top level directories rather than have a single schedule for the 
backup server with multiple shares (top level directories).

If I set multiple fake hosts such as "NAS-home-user1", "NAS-home-user2", each 
of which will only back up a single share or top level directory (e.g. 
/nfs/nas/home/user1 and /nfs/nas/home/user2, respectively) over NFS using tar, 
how can I tell backuppc to not care about the ping times? Or do I need to add 
these fake hosts in the local /etc/hosts so that backuppc has something to ping 
(e.g. the NAS or the backup server)?
