I read the "for backup purposes" as being a euphemism, implying that the second copy was being kept for nefarious purposes, including so that it could be reviewed (including by third parties) even if the user had deleted the "visible" copy. (Also, I have entire rants about how *anything that you can fall back to if the main instance fails*, no matter how limited the circumstances in which you can do so are, qualifies for the literal meaning of the noun "backup"; the insistence that, e.g., "RAID is not backup" - while certainly based on good advice from a practical perspective - rubs me the wrong way linguistically, and your "that's not a backup" does the same thing to a lesser extent. But exploring that further would be a wildly different topic.) -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
