I see three possible solutions. One, set up your dhcp server to assigne the same addresses to the machines. This is, as long as the dhcp address pools are not exhausted, the default behaviour of the isc dhcpd, by he way. Other services do also profit from the resulting semi-static addresses. Two, use dynamic DNS updates with dhcp, so that the machines might have changing IP addresses, but the DNS names remain the same. Then, use the FQDN in Baculas configuration. Three, set up a restricted console on the dynamic addressed clients and use the setip facility before you run backups (or set up the startup scripts or the dhcp client on the machines to initiate a setip when the address changes). The solutions are given in order of my personal preference, by the way.
