ACTUAL RESULTS
In many API calls and UI elements the term Backup is used for Snapshots, while similar in function they are different in nature, this can lead operators and end users to believe that ACS Snapshots are backups. This also could blur the lines between ACS Snapshots and the backup framework.

@alexandremattioli do you plane work on this in the near future? (for 4.18?)

note that if this requires API changes we may have a bigger issue at our hands. I would be nice if you can supply exa,ples where this pertains to APIs and API parameters, both in- and output.

Nahh, not 4.18, probably not even 4.19. I'll dig the API and UI examples and add them here.
