that's very different than how often someone will be backing up and to where. a backup program could use ftp to back up, although it's very unlikely that it would.you're well outside of your league.Tony Cooper
Why do you think "Protocol" is in that term? It says "This is the standard". My reference is not comparing FTP to back-ups, but to try to show you that "Protocol" is used to mean the "standard" way something is done. Your backup protocol is the standard way you will do backups.
A protocol is a set of rules and/or steps in a given procedure. It need not be "standard" in any way, and may even have never been used.
For instance, "FTP", or "File Transfer Protocol" does NOT say "this is the standard", because it isn't. "Standard" means "norm" in a comperative evaluation, and you can't compare FTp to itself, so that would mean that FTP would be the norm for transferring files, which of course it isn't. Plus, this has nothing to do with the word "protocol".
