It's alive!

One day, my coleauge and I had a simple debate about a database termilogogy, 'live'. I said that a live database is the original one, not the backup. But he wants to add that it must be used by everyone to be live.
As a background, our company got lots of databases stored and handled by MySQL Server. They usually use VB 6 to process them. But I, being their intranet programmer, set-up a MySQL to locally to their intranet server, to store transactions that is of the site's use, such as guestbooks, birthdays, and techical support. I backup this db twice a week.
In view of all these, I insists that my MySQL database is live. Am i correct? or he is?
