I am having a great confusion regarding these 2 terms.
1. Custom Backend is used to authenticate users using custom model in
place of User module.
Not necessarily. Custom authentication backend is only required if the
Django auth backend doesn't suit your needs. Don't mix it up with a
custom user.
2. AUTH_USER_MODEL setting also allows to swap a custom model in place
of User module.
Just remove the word "also" above and your statement becomes correct.
If you are a Django newbie you probably don't need either 1 or 2 for
your first couple of practice projects. As soon as you want to do a real
project you definitely want a custom user model.

So where is the difference between the two??
I am a newbie to Django, so please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.
