in a sense it is the same thing but you get different types of backing - brown bread variations, sweet white dough, the paste that you can buy ready made... so sweet white dough is just one type of backing

The way I've got it is that the backing is placed behind the main bait .i.e swd and then a small backing behind it, or a pip with a brown bread backing.
The backing is also used to change the buoyancy of the bait. Floats float, floats with backing doesn't float as much and dough on its own is a bottom bait.
