As far as I've found, there are two points where IPv6 Fails.
Firstly, in the use of gethostbyname. You'll need to install
libsocket6-perl. I tried getnameinfo, but for some reason that didn't
work so I've used getaddrinfo:

IPv6 is not 'part' of BackupPC. IPv6 is part of the OS. BackupPC uses
rsync to backup files from linux machines which in turn is capable of
making IPv6 connections. I can confirm that BackupPC using rsync to
another linux box works. Since no one is answering questions or
providing more
Aaron, I am most completely aware that IPv6 support is provided by the
OS, not BackupPC. The server and desktop I was using BackupPC with, both
support IPv6 and are able to ping and connect to each other without any
problems, yet backups kept failing. I was, apparantly, not the only one.
I am currently backing up quite a few machines with BackupPC, two of
them are IPv6 only--but they are linux boxes. Is this just a problem
with SMB/Windows backups?
