Windows 10: Lock Screen and Screen Saver

1. What is the difference in function between the the lock screen and screen saver?


2. Between the two, i.e., lock screen and screen saver, which one would allow the back-up process or any process for that matter to continue to run in the background?


Thank you in advance.
