Okay, so this recipe *is* actually found.  The problem here is that
buildout is looking at the next page to see where versions of this
package can be found:
http://pypi.python.org/simple/collective.recipe.backup

And that page links to some https urls, which buildout (or some other
code responsible here) apparently does not like.  So it refuses to
visit those urls and warns you that it might have missed some versions
of this package.

So basically: there is nothing serious going on here.
