Thanks Wolfgang.

I've been playing with different bodypart and backpart setupsectionblock settings: number=yes/no, page=yes/no/right, before/after={\page[left/right]}]

From what I observed and understand (from the manual and http://texshow.contextgarden.net/command/detail/296 )...

number=yes/no : doesn't have any effect at all

Removes the number from \chapter etc.

...

page=yes : starts (a section block on) a new (left or right) page page=no : doesn't have any effect at all

Continues the next sectionblock on the same page as the lest block ends.

...

page=right: starts (a section block on) a (new) right page

before/after : before/after starting the new page

\page[left/right] : forces a left/right page

The following

\setupsectionblock[backpart][before={\page[left]}]

gives more what I was looking after, however there's still a blank numbered page as the last chapter's last page which I've unsuccessfully been trying to get without page number.

But only in MkII, if you have a problem with this in MkIV make a example.

I have been struggling with some similar issues (in MkII). I was getting an extra page at the end of a document which came and went for reasons that were unclear to me. And then there was the issue (bug?) about "getting to the back page of a booklet" which you helped me with before.(It's towards the end of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=Imposition)

Was this actually a bug?

The extra page at the end of a document in MkII in is related to marks and there is no perfect solution for this. If the effect with \page[quadruple] to go the last page in booklet is wanted or not could be only answered by Hans.

While your solution seemed to work well originally, it seems to be fragile now when used in a more complicated document. It seems to work OK when I don't use a sectionblock for the back cover, so perhaps it is related.

This should be the same problem as in Alans example, \page[quadruple] moves you to the last page in document but \stopbackmatter or \stopappendices insert a additonal page at the end but you can get rid of this with \setupsectionblock[appendix|backmatter][page=yes|no]. Wolfgang
