Hi, Just for information, I'm  using ipv6 since years (>5) here on my 
network, and I've started 2 years ago to only use ipv6 for the backup, so 
bareos here is using 100% of the time ipv6.
So for most of the task it works well, but I don't use the client initiated 
feature.

I might give it a try next week-end ...
