Backup Central

So I created a virtual machine from a physical machine that was being backed up by backuppc.   It's a Windows Server 2003 domain computer.    It works fine in general, has the same ip as before.

The problem is, for the last week, backuppc has not been backing it up, with a status of "NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME".


I have rebooted the backuppc machine, the vm several times and even removed and re-joined the server to the domain, no difference.


Any ideas?

Is the physical machine still on the network with the same netbios
name - or was it when you booted the VM? Netbios doesn't allow
duplicate names on the network.

No, the physical machine has been powered down.   Also, the virtual machine works fine in all other ways - I can for example remote desktop to it using it's netbios name, connect to it's shares using it's netbios name, etc.

The only other thing I can think of is that routers may cache
ethernet MAC/IP matches for sorme time and not connect to a
replacement machine with the same IP. However this would only apply
if there is a router between the backuppc server and the target, and
the arp cache should only be kept for 20 minutes or so. Can you use
smbclient from the backuppc server to connect manually?
