Update 047_tuning_backup_parameters.rst - local backend (#5355)

Browse Source 
users would find it helpful to know how to adjust the "local" backend and they might not get the idea that the local backend is just called local... which in turn leads them to think restic is slow as they can't adjust away  from 2 threads for restore and backup.

@@ -34,11 +34,12 @@ Backend Connections
Restic uses a global limit for the number of concurrent connections to a backend.
This limit can be configured using ``-o <backend-name>.connections=5``, for example for
the REST backend the parameter would be ``-o rest.connections=5``. By default restic uses
``5`` connections for each backend, except for the local backend which uses a limit of ``2``.
The defaults should work well in most cases. For high-latency backends it can be beneficial
to increase the number of connections. Please be aware that this increases the resource
consumption of restic and that a too high connection count *will degrade performance*.
