Could we pick a less obscure term? E.g., maybe "--ref-storage=<name>"?
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. -- Duy
