So there is an objective meaning for terms defined by what? You? Holy writ? The Great Wikipedia says of
back-up

In information technology, a backup or the process of backing up refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event.

(my emphasis)
Backing up is not about making a copy. It's about making a copy so that you can restore data.

This is my third post on the subject. You have posted
eight. I have addressed your contentions point-for-pont, while you have said "sheesh" and then run away.
I disagree with you about this, and about some other matters on other threads, but I have
never (unlike some poeple) resorted to name calling. Even when it could have been funny, which was perhaps a mistake.
