What is backports?
Backports are not only drivers?
And why backports are disabled by default?
Also:
What are debug backports, and may I install them - will they work?

Backporting is the action of taking a certain software modification (patch) and applying it to an older version of the software than it was initially created for. It is part of the maintenance step in a software development process.
