backup

English to Italian Tech/Engineering Printing & Publishing printing plate, press sheet
In the world of printing, the word "backup" does not refer only to "making a copy for safe-keeping". In printing, back-up refers to the alignment of the printed material on the front and back of the piece of paper coming out of the printing press. When film was used to make printing plates, you could just put the two pieces of film together, too how the printed material on the front of the press-sheet would line up with the material printed on the back of the sheet. With computer-to-plate that is not possible, so this application was written to allow someone to check the front-and-back registration of the printed material on the computer.

allineamento fronte-retro

Ho tradotto io quel testo di Creo, perciò sono andata a cercarlo nella TM.
Anche se il termine nel testo originale era "front-to-back alignment", credo che in questo caso per backup si intenda la stessa cosa.

Ti copio di seguito il segmento completo.

The media is also pre-punched for use with Iris’ patented industry-leading registration system for precise front-to-back alignment and is easy to fold into imposed books.
Il supporto si presenta inoltre prepunzonato per poter essere utilizzato con il sistema di messa a registro brevettato Iris, leader del settore, in modo da garantire un allineamento fronte-retro di precisione e agevolare la piegatura nei libri imposti.
