[BackupPC-users] Best way to back up laptops

[Mark A. <ho...@ma...>]

Hi,

I have three laptops to back up. Sometimes they are connected via wireless
and sometimes they are wired in. Each network adapter has a dhcp reservation
on the router so that I can hard code the IP addresses into the /etc/hosts
file on the backuppc server.

However I have to manually edit this file every time a laptop switches from
wireless to wired to change the hostname's IP address. What's the best way
to set and forget this and allow backuppc to back up the laptops no matter
what IP address they have? I don't want to have to edit this file all the
time.

Thanks,
Mark.
