Re:Gandi loses data, customers told to use their own backups by ben509 on Thursday January 09, 2020 @12:16PM (#22003142)
Your definition claims "a backup is a copy."

The original claim was "a backup is a replication of the live dataset, although, usually out of sync to be useful when the main dataset goes bad."

The only thing that makes a replica special is that it's in sync. Once you add the caveat that it's out of sync, it's just a copy.
