there are stronger backups and there are weaker backups, but as long as the intention is for an informational failsafe, they're all still backups. arbitrarily deciding what forms are "true" or "not true" or a "glorified copy" seems a bit silly to me. the world is just a bit more complex than that

what is a backup if not just a form of copy anyway?
