So you are talking about "the hard way"; manual when you are talking about this suppose "back-up protocol"?

What are you trying to say? That doesn't make sense.

Sandman
I am pointing to the fact that you seem to be refering to both manual and automatic backup's as "protocols". Assuming you don't call it your "file copying protocol" when you copy a file, the term is valid and descriptive, but unsual to be used for an automatic process - which is why nospam assumed you were doing things "the hard way"; manually.

Tony Cooper
I don't see why anyone should think a protocol for an automatic back-up system is unusual.

Sandman
I'm not sure they think it's "unusual", but they don't generally refer to an automatic process as a "protocol", be it backup or memory management

Tony Cooper
The developer has included a protocol that allows these user settings to be followed automatically. The user is determining additional steps to the protocol.

Sandman
What "additional steps" do they add to the protocol?

What gave you the idea that something as basic and simple as that would be hard to understand to anyone?? No one has talked about your lightroom backup but you, and no one but you cares about it.

Tony Cooper
If you'll go back a few posts in this thread, the "backup protocol" issue originated in comments about Tim Gray's presentation on Lightroom. PeterN has also attended a Tim Gray presentation, and he added some comments.

Sandman
This... has nothing to do with what I just said. I never claimed that no one ever talked about Lightroom.

Tony Cooper
In that discussion, I used "backup protocol" and nospam posted a reply in which he indicated that he'd never heard of a "backup protocol". Later, SavageDuck used "backup protocol" in his comments about his Lightroom use and provided a cite to Adobe's use of the term.

That's four people, not "No one", who have talked about Lightroom backup.

Sandman
You can't read. You are the only one that has talked about *YOUR* Lightroom backup.

Thanks for not trying to argue your "point" and revert back to trollish ad hominems again. I love it when I'm right.

Tony Cooper
It remains one of the best laughs of the week for me. Two self-anointed techies who think something is "automatic" because the user thinks it's automatic.

Sandman
Lying comes way too easily for you.
