Excellent - thank you for your reply.  Just to be clear, the script I'm running then I would just add:

BackupPC_serverMesg server reload

I see that the perl module, /usr/share/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/CGI/ReloadServer.pm allows the daemon to become aware of the hosts file change.  How can I call this module from the SSI bash script I have that does the provisioning of the workstation?  Or, how else may I gracefully "reload server configuration"?  I'm aware of being able to send ' kill -HUP {PID} ', but I don't think that is graceful - wouldn't that effect currently running backups?

You can use BackupPC_serverMesg to send the message "server reload" to reload the config and host files.
