The difference between Backup and Sync

Backup
A Backup operation copies files from one storage device into an
image file, which is then stored on another device. To access the
files in the image file, you need to run a Restore operation to extract
the files from the image file and restore them to their original
format. The image below illustrates this process.
For additional information on any Control Pad option or options on
other software screens, roll the mouse pointer over the option to
display a pop-up description.
Click this option to:
Schedule backups and syncs to run at your
convenience. Schedule one-time or recurring
backups or syncs.
Rebuild a lost or corrupted Catalog file.
Note: Catalog files keep track of backups in a
Backup set.
Manage software preferences, including:
Startup preferences: Set the Backup software to
launch automatically each time the drive is
mounted, or disable this feature.
Backup preferences: Specify whether files in the
Recycle Bin and Windows
should be included in a full system backup.
Date Format preferences: Select the date format
(day/month/year or month/day/year) you want to
use in the Backup software.
File Filtering preferences: Specify the file types
(for example, .jpg and .bmp) to be included in
each file type category (for example, Picture
Files). When you backup or sync files in a given
category, the software will backup or sync only
those files that have been assigned to the chosen
category.
