Let's reduce this to the basics. On the 25th November you are saying:
"That's my interpretation of the term as well, that a "backup protocol" is something you execute manually."Indeed.
Note that? Definition (1) A"backup protocol" is something you execute manually."Exactly - I was responding to Savageduck who had just described what he considered to be a backup protocol, which was something done manually.
I then rubbed your nose in four undeniably real-world protocols. Then you started singing a different tune, which as it happens is nowWhy no quote of this supposed "rubbed your nose"? Stop merely claiming things.
"The RFC's does not tell my how to code anything, it tells me how my application has to behave, and I can code that in a number of different ways."100% correct.
Now you are to definition (2) " ... it tells me how my application has to behave, and I can code that in a number of different ways."The quote above has no definition of the word "protocol", Eric. Stay focused! We we're talking about RFC's that deal with system communication, some of which have the word "protocol" in the name. This has always been totally unrelated to the topic of backup protocols. I was just correcting your misinformation above.
Definitions (1) and (2) are mutually inconsistent and both can't be right.So the problem basically is that you can't read English to save your life. You will claim I have stated a definition of the word "protocol" when the quotes you supply for support of that claim shows me doing nothing of the kind. THis is poor, even for you, Eric. You COULD have found quotes of me defining the word, such as this one:
Clearly your use of the word 'protocol' has been incorrect on one occasion or the other. In fact your use of the term has been incorrect until 10th December.You just can't find these supposed incorrect usages of the term, now can you?
don't try to argue that the RFCs are not protocols. The word 'Protocol' is in their respective titles.You're so ignorant, Eric. "RFC" is short for "Request for Comment" and can be about anything, mostly related to computers. Here is RFC 3986, a RFC that discusses URL's, not a single protocol in sight
Please, also, do not try to argue that a backup protocol is different from all other protocols in that it refers to manual operations. There is no reason why it can't apply to a network of servers which carry each other's backup data, rather the way news servers work. Such a network can operate entirely automatically and require no manual operations whatsoever.What? I've never said that backup protocols are only manual, it was my *opinion* that the term "backup protocol" mostly refers to a manual task, like the one Savageduck described. I have told Tony many times that I never ever claimed that it was *WRONG* of him to use the word "protocol":
