Very. What you end up doing is setting up an alias which *acts* like a
separate host but isn't. It can be a little confusing at first but
keep reading until it makes sense :)

It's getting a little fuzzy but I think what I ended up doing was
making a copy of the host in the BackupPC web interface
<newhost>==<oldhost> and then setting the ClientNameAlias and updating
the backup settings.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
