I could not think of the proper nomenclature yesterday but the other term that just about all bluegrass players use for backup is 'vamping' in addition to 'chunking'. Dobro, Fiddle, Banjo and Mandolin players use it for the vast majority of backup playing. Guitars players usually do not use that technique. BIAB only uses the 'rolling' backup technique where a steady stream of notes is played, no 'chunking' or 'vamping is used in any of the RT Banjo Rhythm tracks at all.

Good example:
