Which term describes systems requiring the user to perform maintenance tasks themselves?

Maintenance is the term for systems where upkeep falls to the user, such as patching software, applying updates, performing backups, and replacing hardware as needed. These tasks are the user’s responsibility, which distinguishes them from other concepts like downtime (the period when the system isn’t available) and bandwidth (the amount of data that can be transferred) or an API (the interface for software-to-software communication). If a system were managed for you, the provider would handle these upkeep tasks instead.
