Ok, this is possibly a stupid question, but...

Is there a difference between backing up and coppying?

For example, I want to try the wineyes demo, but I don't want to lose my settings for my purchased copy of wineyes. GWmicro said to make a backup of my users/default directery. So will it work to copy this directy onto a USB drive?

Thank you,
Polka Dot

If it said to back it up, then back it up. copy/backup same thing.
