A *Backup* is where you use a program to make a copy of all your important documents. This is normally a compressed file from which you can restore the said important documents. To run a *backup* you normally have to re-install the operating system you were using and the backup program you used to *backup*. The backup will very often be just one file compressed and will not be normally readable by any other program other than the one you used to backup.

You can *copy* documents to removable media like floppy disks, zip disks, CDR, CDRW or other. Other includes partitions on a hard drive or even another physical hard drive. If you do the copy then you still have to load an operating system then load the programs that made the documents like Works, Word, Excel etc. You can then read the copy as it were.

It looks to me as if you save docs to a removable media. If so then you have a form of backup.
