Backups and Restore Points

The Windows Vista documentation is confusing me. It seems to imply that
backups are created by me but restore points create "shadow" copies of
system files yet the changes I make to my files are included in these
"shadow files". Does anyone know where I can get a simple explanation of
what is included in backup files and what is included in shadow files and
just what the differences are?

Thanks in advance
