Juergen, thanks for your reminder! I forgot to patch FreeBSD port.
Actually the deprecated defined(@Backups) was already fixed in 3.3.1 and 
4.0.0alpha3 more than year ago. There are records in change logs. But 
unfortunately the patch itself has been lost somehow from the latest 3.3.1 
revision and Craig disappeared.
