I was reading about the Backlog Iteration setting in the Project Area Process Configuration. It says:
Work Items with the 'Planned For' attribute set to the iteration marked 'backlog iteration' appear on the backlog plan. Per timeline you can mark one iteration as the backlog iteration. What does RTC actually do with this information? We had created an iteration & plan named Product Backlog long before I learned about this setting & I think the behavior was just as described above without naming a backlog iteration. Chris |

While this is an old question, it is nevertheless one of the first hits one finds when searching for the meaning of the Backlog mark.
So after a little research in RTC 5.0.2, I found these additional aspects:

I was reading about the Backlog Iteration setting in the Project Area Process Configuration. It says: Hey Chris, The type of plan has some preconfigured views (like work break down) and some filters. The idea is that all plan types are not the same and it may differ which things you want to see where or perhaps even which workitems you want where. This can be additioanlly limited by using iteration types and setting a type on your iteration making special permissions on rules apply for the time in your project lifecycle when you are in that particular iteration. Hope it makes sence :-) |

As far as I can tell, all it is used for is to initialize the plan type when you create a new plan (i.e. it creates a "product backlog" plan if you select the iteration that is declared to be the backlog iteration). But you can easily just manually select "product backlog" as the type of your plan, so this doesn't save you any significant effort.

Hello All I need also some help on this:
In my current plan view I exactly miss that the backlog iteration plan is shown. Can you help? |

Set the BacklogIteration in this dialog:
(Open Project area in e.g. Eclipse), then: Process Configuration -> Project Configuration -> Configuration Data -> Planning -> General In the list to the right, choose your backlog iteration and press the small backlog icon next to "Backlog Iteration" |
