Rename "WAL backup" to "WAL upload"

Open petuhovskiy opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

We should move away from calling our current WAL uploading to remote storage like a "backup" in code/comments. The segment in remote storage can be the only copy of the data, rather than a backup. This is especially true for normal WAL segments, which are deleted from disk right after successful upload.
