Hi Backuppc-Users,

I am new to this list so please bare with me in case I am doing 
something odd.

I am have been using backuppc on a debian 8.5 vm server since quite some 
time now and have made backups and restores successfully to a remote 
system called "mars" with a given fixed ip-address.
I am still running version 3.3.0 on a debian 8.5 Linux System.

Today, I wanted to restore a single file and got the message

2016-08-15 11:43:29 restore failed (host mars has mismatching netbios 
name )

I restarted both the debian vm system as well as the windows 7 host but 
the result is the same. I saw a potential problem occuring in case there 
is a Wifi on the same system life, but it isn't.

I checked

# ifconfig

           inet Adresse:192.168.1.38  Bcast:192.168.1.255

lo        Link encap:Lokale Schleife

           RX bytes:4706177 (4.4 MiB)  TX bytes:4706177 (4.4 MiB)


and .....

# perl -e 'print(gethostbyname("mars") ? "ok\n" : "not found\n");'
# ok

but this does not really indicate the problem to me.

It is important to say that the backup works, the restore doesn't. The 
last successfull restore was on 14th of june. The only thing I am aware 
having changed is the
upgrade vom debian 8.3 to 8.5 but I wouldn't really know how that could 
harm it.

Any hint/suggestion is welcome.

Best regards

Andreas from germany
