>From an (ex-)translator point of view, storage is also easier to
translate than the technical term "backend". I know we do not
translate option names, but whatever term you use usually show up in
some user-facing messages that need translating. But I do prefer
backend in source code, I think it expresses the idea much better than
storage.
