File backup or Category Backup?

What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of using File backup or Category backup.  Why would I choose one over the other.

Simple,

Depending on your needs. If you need to backup all the files on the computer, will be better if you use the category backup. Now, if you are going to backup a few specific files, your option will be the file backup that allows you to select the files that you want to backup.
