It is when you make a copy of files that are in your computer to another media, say a blank CD or a floppy disk, so that in the event your computer crashes, you wouldn't have lost your important documents or even program files
Backing up computer data is making a copy of data on an independent storage device in the event the computer drive becomes corrupted, damage by malicious software (viruses, etc) or the data is accidentally deleted.
Backup is simply when you copy your files to a thumb drive or a portable hard drive separate from the computer so if your computer gets whipped out you will still have all your data safe from harm on that thumb drive or hard drive.
hope this helped,

In case your computer crashes or there is a virus that deletes all your files, you should back up your computer before hand by uploading all files onto a harddrive or some other method to restore your lost files in case something tragic happens.
Computer bäckup is the process of storing your application in the computer to enable you to retrieve it when lost
note:it may not enable you to retrieve your computer but your application would be retrieven
There are many different methods available to those wishing to back up their computer. If one is using a Windows computer, they can use the Windows Backup method to make a copy of their drives. There are also other helpful programs that can assist you in backing up your computer like Barracuda and Carbonite.
The general idea is to copy any data that you don't want to lose SOMEWHERE. This "somewhere" should preferably be some medium that is not your main hard disk - copying an important folder to the same hard disk won't help you if the hard disk itself gets damaged. It should also be removable media, *and you should actually remove it* after the backup, since otherwise, some malware might - at a later date - damage both your main hard disk and the backup (if it is accessible at that moment). Options have varied over time; as of 2017, for a personal computer, you might use a DVD - but if you want to back up more information than what fits on a single DVD, it's probably better to have a removable hard disk. Where I live, I can buy a 1 TB hard disk for around 60 US-dollars.It also helps if, before doing any backup, you organize your files in a way that makes it easier to make a backup. Ideally, you should have everything you don't want to lose under a single main folder (or a few main folders) - not spread up over your entire hard disk.
This probably means to create a backup image, which is a reasonably small file that if necessary can backup the entire content of your computer if you lose all of your data.
