Why do you need the backupFor element? I mean, take this example:

Wouldn't it be much simpler to merge both backup and backupFor elements? i.e.

https://gist.github.com/3754550

For starters, I don't have to type LON twice :)

I'd rather configure the name of the backup cache in its own site: e.g. if the backup for "users"@LON was "c1@NYC"

^ In the current config, assuming this is the config in LON, it'd be something like this, right? https://gist.github.com/3776426

and now we want to change it to "c2"@NYC I'd rather not have to change configs in LON but only in NYC.

Well, as far as I understand, even in your current configuration you have to do so:

So, I don't understand your point :( - can you provide some tangible XML examples of what you mean?
