not sure if anyone still needed this info.
in the Extra Flags: -v -w128 -f 1 -t2 username_workername:[email protected]:8332
So for me, bitminter is my backup pool. the "-t2" means that after 2 attemps to contact my primary pool fails, then it will fallback to Bitminter.
So after the -t2, you add your backup pool whatever that may be. Now, you can change the -t2 to -t3 or 4,5 however many attempts you are willing to allow before GUIminer falls back to your backup pool.
Hope this clarifies the backup pool in GUIminer

Q: Can I connect to more than one pool with the same GPU? For example have a main pool, and a backup pool in case the main one goes down?
A: Yes, you can use the -f flag for this. A value of -f60 or higher in the backup pool's miner will cause it to yield most of the GPU power to miners with a lower f value (default is 30).

Hope that helps

-f number is the number of frames you want to reserve for the operating system and other tasks I believe.
I'm not sure how to use the backup pool setting, but I just open two GUIMiners on the same card one of them will sit there at 0MH/s until the other one fails.

So has anyone figured this out yet? 
my current flags in guiminer are: -v -w128 -f1
not even sure what the -f1 does... I but I don't even know what does. I've seen -f60 and I think default is -f30
Can someone Confirm the backup flag in GUIminer? is it: -backup... or kiv.gpu
or something completely different. thanks

dashes set the flags.
Give cgminer a try. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-cgminer-mining-software-thread-for-linuxwinosxmipsarmr-pi-4110-28402
Fallback support is in the OpenCL miner only in guiminer. The thread of it states that.

Yes I'm currently using cgminer while guiminer has this weird OpenCL issue but I would like to have Guiminer as my main and the only thing it lacks for me is the failover pool thing, which it has, I just don't know how to set it up. I do use OpenCL so thats not the problem.

Do you know if theres a dash in front or anything?
username:password
usually something like username.1:password or username_1:password
usually something like username.1:password or username_1:password
So does no one know or no one want to help?
So I've searched the forums and I cannot figure this out. I want to set a flag/parameter that lets me set up a backup pool using GUIminer, and the official forum has this:
Somewhere else someone said they put this, but was unable to test it yet:
" --backup http://user:[email protected]:8332"
So I'm trying to figure out what this set up actually is. Like "Kiv.GPU" is supposed to be what? Like a username? It's just confusing.

"How to use a backup pool aka fallback support:
Fallback support is in the OpenCL miner only. In the flags, specify the info of the backup pool or pools. For example if I want to fallback to my account on slush's pool, I would write:
Kiv.GPU:[email protected]:8332"
