(sorry for not replying earlier)

If you add the backports repository, the packages there won't be 
automatically used to update the system by the graphical updater 
(rpmdrake). Instead you can invidually select the packages you want to 
install from there.

If you are using the console urpmi tool, you can use parameter 
"--update" in addition to --auto-select/--auto-update when installing 
updates, that causes urpmi to update only packages from the mediums 
marked as update mediums (you can mark/unmark update mediums in rpmdrake 
or in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg).
