When loading a previous save file after updating to a new version of the game, a typo appears on the screen which encourages a player to make a backup.
EXPECTED RESULT:
The two-word verb phrase "back up" should appear on the button which prompts that option.
ACTUAL RESULT:
The one-word noun "backup" appears on the button in question.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Launch the game on a previously released version.
2. Start a new world.
3. Save the world and exit the game.
4. Launch the game on the current version.
5. Attempt to play the previously saved world.
NOTES:
Phrases containing an action followed by a direction are always two words when they are verbs and one word when they are nouns. "Backup" is a noun. "Back up" is a verb.

This is from that same Wikipedia link:
The verb form, referring to the process of doing so, is "back up", whereas the noun and adjective form is "backup".
"Back up" means "to save something." "Backup" means "a piece of saved data." It's similar to how "set up" means "to prepare," whereas "setup" means "an assemblage or preparation."
The bug is valid, and the typo was not intended.
This is intended. Backup means to save something, hence it's the correct term to use here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup
