Russian success 

When a person or system reports as having successfully completed a task, however, it has not actually been successful.

The backup failures are not being reported as failures. They are a Russian success.

Russian success 

When a person or system reports a successful completion of a task which has not actually been completed successfully.

A reflection on the Russian military reporting very minor advances (which were in fact failures) as great successes.

The system is not reporting failed backups as failures. They are Russian successes.
