Public bug reported:

I have a couple of backups, over ssh, to a machine which is not
accessible 24/7. Since upgrading my system to 20.04 from 18.04, the
included version of backintime-qt, presumably checking the integrity of
settings, closes the backup settings dialog but does not save any
changes made (without warning) to *any* profile, if the remote host on
other profiles are not up; it works fine when they are up.

The old version would complain about remote hosts being unavailable, but
still allowed changes to be saved. This means I cannot change my local
backup settings without first turning other computers on unnecessarily!

Ideally I should be able to make changes to remote system profiles, too,
even if they are down at that time.
