BackupPC does no communication on its own. At its most simplest (and in
the best spirit of UNIX), it is a daemon that coordinates lots of other
utilities together.
What that means is that the question is not, "Is BackupPC IPv6 ready?",
but, "Are all of the tools BackupPC uses IPv6 ready?" As you can imagine,
that's a *much* more complex question!
For example, the item that you're asking about (Can't find host via
netbios) is handled by Samba. The Samba utility is the one trying to
resolve the host, and it's not looking for AAAA records. So the place to
look would be within the Samba project.
Of course, you can substitute nearly *any* program (via the BackupPC
config.pl file) for the ones that BackupPC is using, so you might be able
to substitute an IPv6-ready nslookup (or dig or whatever) command in its
place.
