Bug Description
Hi,
backintime fails when using an IPv6-only backup destination over ssh. When I confirm my configuration settings, backintime validates the proposed configuration. If the ssh-host is not IPv4-reachable, the ping check in sshtools.py will fail with some error message shown to the user. Simply commenting out the call to self.check_
(Of course, the real fix is to modify the ping check, but this shouldn't take more than a few lines.)
I'm using 1.0.34 as provided by Ubuntu 14.04.

'Easy to fix' is relative ;-) I don't have working IPv6 to test.
If you don't mind it would be great if you could test the Alpha version for 1.1 from my ppa:germar/
