Re: [Duplicity-talk] can gs use ipv6?

[edgar . soldin]

as backends are quite independent in duplicity and only knitted API-wise wrt. 
put/get/list etc. file operations, there is a high probability that you can use 
IP6 under the hood without duplicity even recognizing it (eg. using hostnames 
resolving to IP6).

you will have to research though, if and how IP6 is supported by the underlying 
backend (eg. lftp when using ftp or boto for gs in your case) and how it is 
enforced.
