agree BrigitteHilgner: In my opinion, "abziehen" quite obviously means "to copy".

neutral Hilary Davies: "copy" implies that a copy is left on the server, which isn't implied in abziehen, is it//Now you see, i used to work for a server company and when we said "pull the data off the server", it WAS deleted ;-) But I agree, we need more context.

  -> Not sure actually, you might be right, without more context we´ll never know I guess. My opinion in this case is that ´abziehen´is used in the sense of ´pull off´, as in ´pull the data off the server please´, in which case it is certainly not deleted.

copy

Explanation:
Ja, den Vorschlag haben wir schon.

Ich will ihn wortreich unterstützen, deshalb eine eigene Antwort.

Das Wort "abziehen" ist unglücklich gewählt, und gehört eigentlich nicht in den Kontext.

Ich kenne es einerseits aus dem Umfeld der Fotographie. Ein Negativ abziehen, einen Abzug machen: To make a print. Dabei bleibt das Original natürlich erhalten.

Andererseits gibt es eine Verwendung im militärischen Bereich. Dort spricht man von "Truppen abziehen" (retreat). Die sind dann natürlich weg.

Meine erste Assoziation war der fotographische Abzug, bei dem das Original erhalten bleibt. Meiner Meinung nach passt das auch besser zu dem "Urzustand". Hier wird jener Urzustand zur späteren Wiederherstellung in ein Backup gelegt. Dann wird weiter konfiguriert, der gesicherte Zustand ist ein Zwischenstand, auf dem man später wieder aufsetzen kann.

Ich gebe allerdings gerne zu, dass diese Deutung nicht zwingend ist, letztlich kann nur der Kontext die Frage entscheiden.
