Subject: newbie question on using system syntax versus backticks

I keep running into this, and change my approach if undesirable effects
are encountered.  But what I'd like to systematically understand is the
difference between issuing a system command such as:

      system( "some_system_command" )

and simply doing it with backticks:

      `some_system_command`

What is the difference, and is there an approach that is preferable in
terms of "good Ruby programming"??
