About drive-based backups
When you run a drive-based backup, a snapshot is taken of everything that is
stored on your computer's hard disk. Each snapshot is stored on your computer
as a recovery point. A recovery point is a point in time that is used to restore your
computer back to the way it was when the recovery point was created.
The types of recovery points are as follows:

About file and folder backups
If you want to modify or create a select set of personal documents and folders and
you don't want to use hard disk resources to back up your entire computer, you
can define a file and folder backup. Or, you might want to define a file and folder
backup to capture one or more folders that contain the files that you modify on
a regular basis.
File and folder backups let you select individual files or folders to back up. You
can also specify a file type to back up and let Backup Exec System Recovery locate
and back up all files of the type you specified. For example, if you have Microsoft
Word documents stored at several locations on your computer, Backup Exec
System Recovery locates all Word documents (files ending with .doc) and includes
