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.
That's what I was taught in the late eighties. We backupped ( allow to return to previous day ) and archived ( cumulation for life ). -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
