The system filter will set up a delivery to backup@???. That
address will go through the routers in the normal way. I think that is
why you are seeing the effect you are seeing. If you don't want
postmaster@??? to be routed by that router, add
local_parts = !backup
to the router.
The system filter can alter the list of recipients, but all addresses
are subsequently handled by the routers. Duplicates are discarded.
A delivery with -d to get some debugging output will confirm this.
