    Here you are doing forward lookup to hostname backup00-ndmp.

     bpclntcmd -hn backup00-ndmp

    This resolves to IP address 10.1.2.19.

    But in bptestbpcd output we see connection attempt from IP address 10.1.3.39 TO 10.1.3.29.

    Client's IP is on same subnet as server's 10.1.3 IP (assuming you have them separated ito different  subnets with 255.255.255.0 netmask):

    backupv-data     10.1.3.29

    This is why server is using the 10.1.3. interface to connect to client.

    Client cannot resolve server IP address  10.1.3.39 and there is no SERVER entry.

    If you want to use 10.1.2 network for backups, you need to add 10.1.2 IP address for client's backup NIC.
