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.Ah, Mr Obvious strikes again!
That protocol can allow user-defined protocol to done automatically in the future.Say what?
Tony here is trying to say that automatic backup is a protocol because the automation was once created by someone - while at the same time ignoring / not realizing that that is exactly what we've said all along. It is automatic *for the user* and not a protocol *for the user*, just like erasing a hard drive isn't a protocol *for the user* since all they do is press a button, it's all automatic, but in order for the hard drive to be erased, the OS needs to follow what can be called a "protocol" of actions for the task to be complete.
No one refers to this as their "erase hard drive protocol" because they only press a button, just as they don't refer to automatic backup as "backup protocol", since a "protocol" is a series of step the user of the protocol needs to follow.
