Tony here seems to think that "Backup protocol" is something the user has to enable, define and set up in each application, while nospam is talking about the built in system-wide and automatic backup mechanism in OSX. So, in essence, there is no "backup protocol" in OSX, there is just "backup". No protocol needed. You turn it on and voila, your computer is 100% backed up. Congratulations.

i wasn't referring to just os x, but os x does make it very easy but it's not the only system that can do that.

Unbelievable! Between the two of you, neither understands "automatic". Anything the machine does automatically is pre-determined by the protocol established and inserted into the program by the developer of the program.

That protocol can allow user-defined protocol to done automatically in the future. This would include the where and when.

Sandman very well understands what a protocol is. He is just using an excuse to troll and you bit. OTOH nospam is simply truing to wiggle out of his misstatement. Drop the discussion, there's so many more interesting things.

You gotta admit it's kinda funny. We have a guy with alleged technical experience and knowledge of technical "jargon" terms attempting to deny that "backup protocol" is a valid and descriptive term because he's never heard it used. And, we have another guy who brags about his expertise who thinks a "backup protocol" is only a mental plan and something that is done manually.

They both are trying to tell us that an "automatic" function is some kind of magic that the device comes up with on its own and not the result of a protocol included in the program. Both are trying to tell us that an "automatic" function not dependant on the program's protocols because the user thinks it's done automatically.

Dirt is flying all over the place from the two of them madly digging the hole deeper and deeper.
