Re: [BackupPC-users] Dual Network and BackupPC

We have a PC that we use BackupPC to backup the C:\ that connects to two different networks at different times. I do not know how to have the server check to see which network the PC is connected to and run it depending on which network BackupPC sees the PC on when it pings said computer. I can connect the server that runs our BackupPC to the two networks to accomplish running BackupPC on said PC. Any suggestions on options I can do in the config file, or any other suggestions?

Sounds like a job for DNS or NETBIOS. nmblookup should resolve to the current IP if you're using Samba as a transport. Else, I'm imagining the client PC with a script that updates it's DNS record periodically. Or as another alternative, you could create a seperate host in BackupPC using the alternate network IP.
