In the file /etc/BackupPC/pc/machinealias.pl, I have set:
   $Conf{ClientNameAlias} = mymachine
When I run from my shell
 /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -d -v -f mymachinealias
I get:
  cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 mymachinealias
  cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output ping: unknown host mymachinealias

The backup however works fine when run from the web interface.

It seems like running BackupPC_dump doesn't use ClientNameAlias.
This seems to be a bug or at the very least an undesirable feature ;)
