Backing Up Files In Lightroom

Ok Lightroom experts out there I'm a little confused.

My lightroom is set to back up the catalog every time I exit. I don't always do it, it depends what I have been doing that particular time. The 'catalog' is not a very big file and my OH informs me that this will not actually contain the photos themselves. So I'm confused as to what's the point. I want to save everything so that if my hard drives takes a dive I can retrieve all my photos. Is this not what the catalog back up is for?

Heeeeeeeeelp pleeeeeeeease :)

Ok just done a bit of Googling. It's a bit clearer now, if anyone else is confused by this, here is a link to a video I just watched. Most of it made sense to me :)

I love taking photos and the end result but I must admit the technological side of things is way over my head.
