I COMPLETELY agree with the first statement... an organization SHOULD have
a clear policy as to 'roles and responsibilities' around these functions,
and that should include a set of definitions EVERYONE is in agreement on.
As for the second statement... it DOES MATTER VERY MUCH what people call
these files, once you have that set of definitions. Especially, during a
discovery or other legal action. When your organization puts together a
data map (identifying where records exist and who manages them) you don't
want 'rogue backups and archives' popping up.
