Hello folks,

I am interested in your opinions about this.

Looking into my foggy memory it seems that I somehow asked this question before. But I couldn't find out when and where. So my apologize if this is a duplicate.

In my experience around BIT I would say that the term "Backup" is more appropriate for what we currently call "Snapshot". So I would like to change that.

- For someone not knowing BIT (e.g. potential new users and translators) the term "Backup" is clearer. - Snapshot might be understood by some people as an image of the file system. - When writing about BIT (in Issues, Forums, etc) most of the time I do use the term "backup" out of the stomach without thinking about it.

I do understand that "Snapshot" is kind of fancy and points to the timeline feature. But I would prefer to use the technical correct term "Backup" instead of a marketing term.

What do you think?

Regards,
Christian
