Why is it important to not store a backup of drive C on another partition on the same hard drive?
If you store your backup of your C:\ drive (which is usually where all your files, photos, etc are stored) on another (logical) partition on the same physical drive (C:\) and this is where you store your backup, if the drive should fail you would lose both the original files AND the backup as well. This is because they both reside on the SAME physical drive. Buy an inexpensive thumb drive or external hard drive and store your backups there. This way is the C:\ drive fails, you still have your backup files (on the external or flash (thumb) drive).

Why is it important not to store a backup of drive C on the same hard drive?
The reason for creating a backup of Drive C, or any other drive, is to have the data available in case the drive crashes and cannot be restored. If you store your backup on the same drive, it will not be available if the drive fails. It is like keeping a list of your credit card numbers in your wallet with the credit cards. If the wallet is stolen, you won't have the list either.
You computer is 80 GB hard drive you need back up the external hard drive must be same as 80gb?
Part depends on the TYPE of backup. A "standard" file backup will use far less space, as it only backs up the actual data on the drive. to find out how much data is on your drive, open up "My Computer" and right click on the drive you wish to backup. The information box that appears will show the drive capacity, and the free space. Subtract the free space from the drive capacity to estimate the data size. Another type of backup is called a "drive image". This type will make an exact duplicate of you hard drive onto another drive. for this type of backup, you must have a 80 gig (or larger) backup drive. Steve

Does backups stand in the PC after format?
I am guessing you mean "Do backups stay in the PC after Format?" The answer is No, if you store the backups of the files on the same hard drive you are formatting. Its not technically a backup then anyway. To make a proper backup, you need to copy your files to a USB key, burn them to a CD or DVD, or copy them to another computer or hard drive.
Can you backup your hard drive to a flash drive?
It is possible if you have a sufficiently large flash drive that can handle the volume of data to be backed up. It also depends on the the type of backup selected, sector for sector backup or selective data backup.

What is difference between external hard drive and external backup drive?
An external drive is the same as an internal drive just not installed inside the case. Meaning you can use it in exactly the same way as an internal drive. A backup drive is usually a zip drive designed to back up you hard drive and isn't used as a hard drive itself. It is usually in the form simalar to a floppy disk that the backup information is copied to. You can then use the backup disk and drive to reinstall all of your information from your original hard drive back to the hard drive in case of a virus or manually removing something that was needed for the system to run.
