I surely believe that your plugin is not ‘poorly’ developed 🙂
Stupid enough i was asking this question after uninstalling it and removing some entries from the database. I presumably was trying to get rid of a bad feeling of deleting something still needed . . .
If I ever have activated it networkwide (multisite) I don’t remember.
Fact was that I found some entries as I remember which were prefixed with ‘backup-to-dropbox’ in the options table of the active blog (only one active blog right now). I stumbled upon them in the backend at ‘network admin > sites > edit > settings . . . ‘
Which ones these precisely were I don’t remember – around four or so – could be that in some other table was another one.
Four or so have been in the options table next to the ‘recently_activated_plugins’ entry – which I did not delete.
Now, the blog works nicely since then – hopefully it will stay like this and not at any given time later come as an issue to the fore.

Here is a list of my plugins:

2: http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?file=e0b340-1331280222.jpg

These are the ones on the testblog.
On the ‘real’ blog i have some of them not installed but another one instead: Automatic WordPress Backup

on a multisite installation some of these have to be removed manually
