backupfaith

/ˈbækʌpˌfeɪθ/nounVerified New

Technology & AI

Belief in a backup that has never been tested, held on trust rather than evidence.

The drive blinks; the cloud bar says synced; no one has ever restored anything. Backupfaith is insurance never claimed — comforting right up to the flood, which is when the faith is usually discovered to have been misplaced.

Etym. — *backup* + *faith*; unverified belief in a technical arrangement.

Rel. — versionfog
