+ \c{$$_PRO_FILE_PWD_/backup_registration/maemo/$$basename(TARGET).conf}.
+
+ Unfortunately it is not possible to have a common registration file for Maemo like there is
+ for Symbian, so the developer must always provide one if the platform default backup support is
+ not sufficient.

+ \e {This is only used on the Symbian platform.}
+
+ This variable is used to specify the backup registration file to use with
+ \c enable_backup \c CONFIG value for Symbian platform. The default value is
+ determined as follows:
+
+ If a custom registration file \c{$$_PRO_FILE_PWD_/backup_registration/symbian/backup_registration.xml}
+ exists, it is used. Otherwise, the common registration file \c{$$[QT_INSTALL_DATA]/mkspecs/common/symbian/backup_registration.xml}
+ is used. This common registration file will define backing up of application binaries,
+ resources, and all files under application private directory. Also note that \c{C:/Data}
+ contents are backed up by default on Symbian devices, so no registration is needed for any
+ files found there.
