I feel you. But speaking as a non-native English-speaking person, I can
settle for "alternate" because I can still wire my brain to give it the
meaning we're using here.
But if you like another name, I want to steer away from "backend" as
well. As mentioned elsewhere, a "backend" sounds like an implementation
of an object database, not the instance of an odb. But I'm open to other
suggestions. I've been browsing thesaurus for a bit, unfortunately I
didn't find anything better.
