I make you parden, but: no!

When a repo is disabled it doesn't get updated automatically and its 
packages are not to be found in rpmdrake.
Did you confuse "disabling repos" and "marking a repo for updates" 
(sorry, me doesn't know the exact English strings).


So you have to enable the backports repos and even though you don't 
"mark them as update repos", urpmi will ignore that (rpmdrake won't 
but urpmi will) and will update everything from those repos...
