I have an external hard drive, and I want to back up my computer to this drive. As I'm doing it for the first time, the following questions have cropped up in my mind:
What is the difference between using Windows Backup and copying files? If I copy each and every file rather than back up, how will it differ? Which is more preferable and why?
My computer is running on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, 4GB of RAM.
