+    \e {This is only used on the Maemo platform.}
+
+    This variable is used to specify the backup registration file to use with
+    \c enable_backup \c CONFIG value for Maemo platform. The default value is:
+    \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.
