Is a snapshot the same as a system backup?

No, when you create a backup you can then restore single files or folders. A snapshot allows you to restore the entire system only. It is especially useful to generate a snapshot in case you like to try out new applications. Whenever you encounter issues, you can simply reset your system to its previous state with just one mouse-click.
