Why not?
Search for backup, tick the box to say that you only want to search in 
"source" text and it should show you the entries that contain backup. 
Then it is up to you to figure out which word in the translation was 
used for "backup". No software can ever figure out a word to word match 
for a translation as there is not always one word for another.
