You should replace "YOURMIRROR" with your mirror.
With the meaning of the mirror you use.

Here you can find a list of potential mirrors:

http://backports-master.debian.org/Mirrors/


Or you could use simply this one:

http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports

(Which seems to be located in Austria resp. Vancouver)

Andreas
