It *is* cached data. It is generated from the disc, and can *normally* be 
fully regenerated. That is pretty much the definition of cache.

Of course, there are scenarii whereby regeneration may fail. That does not 
make the data any less cached data. By the same line of thinking, it might be 
impossible for my MUA to fetch an mail from IMAP again (because it got 
archived), or for my web browser to retrieve a page (because it got deleted, 
changed, or I lost access rights).


If someone wants to save their cache in their backup, or manually inserting 
entries there, nobody prevents them from doing.
