What's the difference between Dropbox Backup and 'normal' Dropbox? Can files be deleted / restored?

As I understand it, "Backup" creates an additional copy of files so that if my computer were hacked and my dropbox files were deleted, including those in the dropbox cloud, I could still restore them...

    Hey john l.134 - sorry to jump in here, but I wanted to mention that in the case you mentioned, you'd be able to use the Dropbox Rewind feature which allows you to go back in time within your account's version history.
