I like that better, although there are a lot of logs, so maybe "transaction 
log archival".

Considering the list originally referenced:

- File system backup
- SQL dump
- (Transaction log archival?)

This addresses the technical workings of the various backup systems.  The fact 
that it is or isn't on-line, hot, continuous, fast, or flexible is secondary.
