backup.tar.gz is a wrong name, cause my data resides in ram, that is a volatile memory, so it's not possible to say that I have my data stored somewhere. From volatile they go into backup.tar.gz but this means that is missing a step: mydata.tar.gz

I think you're focusing on a very small detail.
To change a label that has successfully been in use for years, for the sake of semantics, is to increase the potential for unnecessary problems for both the developer and the users.
