While this does work, I think I'd prefer it if the field is always
visible and is enabled or disabled depending on the selection of the
notification system. With the hidden field, UI shifts a tiny bit once it
becomes visible (Firefox 139.0.1). Since the Backup window is not super
cluttered, I think this additional field could always be visible, but
that's just my two cents.
