Using the DHCP approach, I've been able to launch a backup manually via the web
interface, but only when accessing it from the machine itself, not from another
machine. I'll see if the automatic backup works.

Still don't really understand why finding the IP via nmblookup and then using
$hostIP in the ssh command line does not work...

Yeah, that would be great, but that's not in my hands to decide and the answer
is no. I'll have to look into the possibility of creating a local dns server...
