User experience is the overall experience a user has while using a
product. Duh.

But the events which make up the value which you refer to as 'user
experience' are weighted by their desirability. Having everything turn
to custard (aka 'losing the lot') is a user experience I wish to
avoid.

Backups allow you to avoid that experience, silly. 

The point I was making, which you refuse to acknowledge, is that to do
backups, Mac users simply connect a drive and click "Use for Backups",
which is far easier and simpler than *many* other backup solutions
available, including the one you use.

This conversation is a waste of my time. Feel free to carry on by
yourself from here on out.

You seem to have already forgotten that only the other day I wrote:

  On the other hand, I back up all vital data on PC1 to PC 2. All
  vital data on PC 2 is backed up onto PC 1. Then both PC backups are
  backed up onto a 4Tb external drive on PC 1. Backups are controlled
  by Second Copy http://www.secondcopy.com/ which also is on PC 1.

Only a minute ago you were trying to argue about the meaning of 'user
experience'.

Nope, I'm just addressing what you said - in particular, "Having
everything turn to custard (aka 'losing the lot') is a user experience I
wish to avoid". Connecting a hard drive to a computer and clicking a
button on the screen both prevents data loss (the only user experience
you seem to acknowledge exists) *and* is a much better user experience
than all of this nonsense:

Refusing to acknowledge it yet again. You're entirely predictable.

Don't flatter yourself. I wasn't in the slightest bit interested in
helping you, because it was (and still is) obvious you are only here to
argue. So are we done, or are you determined to continue the
conversation?

Don't know. It doesn't usually happen.

Too late at night to devote any worthwhile thought.
