Okay, I think I got that now. I will uncomment backends.php and add this to backends.local.php > Any advice on how to improve configuration documentation would be great. I would love to - however, at the moment with every release I feel less and capable of explaining the configuration. I would have made it so that .local.php values always supercede defaults, but doubless I'll get used to it. Rest assured when I think I can contribute to documentation - I will! > FYI: you absolutely don't want to copy backends.php to backends.local.php > and use the default entries as-is because this prevents any configuration > changes in future versions from being properly propagated.

See, that's counter intuitive to me (but's probably just me). Thanks Arjen, Michael and Andy.
