You're correct that it needs to be modified, but AFAIK that document 
isn't referred to as the FAQ, just the documentation. It is correct in 
the $Conf{BackupsDisable} section, just not in the one you refer to.

This is on the FAQ page, not the documentation page. The FAQ isn't 
updated any more, but AFAIK the documentation is.

It doesn't actually link to the FAQ, even though it is in the same 
directory.

Craig updates the documentation, so we can get him to fix it.
