Changing the alias will only change how backuppc tries to reach the remote 
machine. That is save and easy to change in the gui.

Changing the name of the "host" (which doesn't always have to be a host) 
requires you to also move the corresponding dir in /var/lib/backuppc/pc and if 
you want to keep the special configuration you should also copy the hosts 
config 
in /etc/backuppc.

Have fun,
