No, backup is most certainly not that. Formatting is the process fo dividing the disk into tracks and Sectors.
It depends on how many tracks and sectors, as well as the sector size. In a typical (very old) 360kb floppy, there were 40 cylinders, 2 tracks per cylinder, 9 sectors per track, and 512 bytes per sector so, in that case, 1 byte would be about 1.085 x 10-4 cylinders.
Bmx tracks are made of mostly lime and gravel

a backhoe has tyres,but a trackhoe has tracks
Depends on your disk type, but about 48k per track.

That would be called low-level formatting.
Dividing a disk into tracks, sectors, and clusters is known as disk formatting. Tracks are concentric circles on the disk surface, while sectors are the smaller segments within those tracks, typically storing a fixed amount of data. Clusters are groupings of sectors that the operating system uses as the smallest unit for storing files, enabling efficient data management and retrieval. This structure allows the OS to effectively organize, store, and locate data on the disk.
A low-level format is the process that marks the location of tracks and sectors on a disk. A disk cannot be partitioned or formatted until a low-level format is completed.
track mean a path in secondary storage, storage contains traks in circles and in every track there is sectors means tracks are dividing in different chunks of sectors
80
Bits. Groups of bits are organized into sectors or blocks, which are further grouped into clusters, which are further grouped into tracks.

The process of marking tracks and sectors to prepare the disk to receive data is called formatting. During formatting, the disk is organized and divided into individual storage units that can be written and read by the computer's operating system. This prepares the disk for storing files and other data.
Floppy disk has tracks and sectors.
