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.

so what?

to the user, if something happens without needing to configure options or invoke a command, it's automatic.

they do not need to consult with the developer or do anything special. it 'just works'.

for example, gps devices automatically recalculate a new route if someone deviates from its suggested route. that functionality was done by the gps maker but the driver doesn't care. if they turn off a given route, they are presented with an updated route. that's automatic.
