Hi group

Came across this command and wanted to know a useful example of when to implement this feature. is a backdoor route just a fancy way of saying a backup route if you lost routes? the DocCD states that a backdoor network is treated as a local network, except that it is not advertised.
Any other explanations would be appreciated.

Matt
