   > @DaanHoogland, The doc in its current form has already diverged from the 
source of truth, so adding the missing usage types wouldn’t introduce any 
additional inconsistency.
   
   I do not believe that is a reason to let it like this. I think the paragraph 
should be removed and replaced with a link/command to retrieve the data from 
the API. We are creating a path to continuous maintenance and probably 
technical debt if we allow for documentation of things which are also 
documented in code.
   
   > As a potential improvement, perhaps we could sync the doc with the missing 
Usage Types and clearly mention that users should refer to the list Usage Types 
API for the most up-to-date information?
   
   If this is implemented in an update script we still need to have it run and 
humans will forget.

currently, Backup isn’t even mentioned as a usage type.
   
   That should be solved in the source (i.e. the API doc, not in this file)
