I'm on 16.04.1 LTS and had the following error after configuring the settings in the System Settings Backup:

   "Backup location not available
    Waiting for a network connection..."

For me, the issue was with NetworkManager. After getting the above error, I went to look at the Connection Information in the systray only to get another error:

   "Error displaying connection information:No valid active connections found!"

Following: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/305606

I found that my /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf had:

   [ifupdown]
   managed=false

so I changed it to:

   [ifupdown]
   managed=true

rebooted and now the backup works fine.
