 * I installed this on my WP Multisite and the activated the plugin on one of my
   sites. However, there is no settings page to use it. At least, I have not found
   one.

 * I deactivated on the sub site and network activated. Then, the settings page 
   is on the Network dashboard. Not sure that network activation is wise ….

 * In my opinion, requiring Network Activation and having the settings page on the
   Network dashboard is the correct method for a backup plugin that is multi-site
   compatible.
 * When I see the settings appear in the Network dashboard I know that the author
   has considered multi-site and that these settings won’t be available to mortals.
 * The only thing I would add is a blurb in the installation instructions that specify
   Network Activate for multi-site and specify where the settings panel is.
