Hey, so I recently updated dropbox, and now it's seemingly trying to redownload all of my online only files.

I did, and that didn't…

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 from Backup.
