that is indeed strange. Unless your hostname happens to be 'all', I would also
not expect that to be parsed by BackupPC.
'backup hostname' does not ~ /^backup (\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)/.
The special case 'all' would check all hosts for due backups, just like a
regular wakeup would. I doubt that is what you really want though.

Limited to *one* host given as an argument, I suppose you mean. I'll see if I
can find the time to work out a patch.
