IMO ( dutch "archief" isn't completely the same as the american "archive" ) the thread is going in a language based direction. I've read an number of articles that claim there is a difference between a backup and an archive, using the english-language meanings.
When stripped of all the frippery the difference comes down to this:
A backup is taken regularly, has a limited lifetime and is optimized for a quick restore.
An archive is intended for a long lifetime.
An archive is an structured file that contains files. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
