Hi Crab
Backport settings can be found at Software Sources. Here's how to get there.
Click Start (aka Menu) > System > Install/Remove Software (aka Synaptic)
Synaptic opens
In Synaptic click Settings > Repositories
Software Sources opens
In Software Sources click Updates Tab
Here's a picture

In LL108 (on my laptop) the option:
Unsupported updates (precise-backports)
was already checked. I believe this is the default setting (but could have been added since installation).
Pre-released updates (precise-proposed)
I think this includes pre-release backports (can someone confirm this?) and probably carries a higher risk with system or application (or both) instability.
