Hey! Is this documented?
You mean adding your own backend?
There's an older blog article about it which still kind of applies:
http://www.estamos.de/blog/2008/08/04/syncml-client-do-it-yourself-style/
Of course, a lot has changed in the last 5+ years.
BTW, looking through tech articles that I wrote I also found something
about the config system. Not sure whether you also saw it when going
through syncevolution.org:
https://syncevolution.org/development
https://syncevolution.org/development/configuration-handling
And the rationale behind local sync is also linked to:
