+backendtype=<backend-type>
+--------------------------

+Description:           Specifies the backend implementation to use
+Supported values:      phy, tap, qdisk
+Mandatory:             No
+Default value:         Automatically determine which backend to use.
+
+This does not affect the guest's view of the device.  It controls
+which software implementation of the Xen backend driver us used.
+
+Not all backend drivers support all combinations of other options.
+For example, "phy" does not support formats other than "raw".
+Normally this option should not be specified, in which case libxl will
+automatically determine the most suitable backend.
