I usually see the host name returned first in the list from nmblookup
before the group name.  I don't know if that is confusing backuppc or
not (or how you would change it...), but if you always have the same
IP you should be able to uncheck the dhcp option and use DNS or add
the IP in ClientNameAlias.
