Gender-neutral backup scheme

There is a popular strategy for backing up data, called the Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) backup scheme.

It typically involves making a comprehensive backup (‘grandfather’) every month, smaller backups (‘fathers’) every week, and even smaller backups (‘sons’) every day.

I wonder what would be the name of this scheme in an overly politically correct software world.
