Yes, the hooks you have for AD only work for logging in as
a user on the OS.    You don't have any hooks in place for
either apache authentication or backuppc.  I believe there
is a way to have apache authenticate to AD, but I don't think
there is a way to do it with backuppc.

You might try googling for "AD authentication backuppc" to
see if anyone is working on this.
