Yep, when I think of log archiving, I think of saving the server logs,
which thanks to log file rotation, we kind of support.
The problem is that when I think of the transaction log, I think of clog
because it is the transaction status log. :-(
I am thinking anything that says "log" is going to be confusing. How about
"Transaction Archiving"?

To me, the continuous activity is the significant feature of that backup
method. I chose "Continuous Backup" because it is the continual
activity that is significant. "Continuous Archiving"?
