There are several FTP programs available to use. They are called "FTP" programs because they follow the File Transfer Protocol...the standard.

seriously, leave the technical jargon to those who understand it.

So says a person who claims to be in the field but has never heard of the term.

ftp defines how two devices communicate and transfers files (thus its name).

Yes, it defines how it is done. Just like a backup protocol defines how the backup is done.

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.

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.
