"right click -> TortoiseSVN -> Branch/Tag" vs. "SVN copy and rename versioned files here"

How is "right click -> TortoiseSVN -> Branch/Tag" different than
right dragging a file and "SVN copy and rename versioned files here"?

My understanding is that using the Branch/Tag way is more of a server side operation while the SVN copy way is more of a client side way of accomplishing essentially the same thing. Both ways seem to preserve file commit message history. With Branch/Tag I do the copy on the server so I need to use Update to get the new files on my local copy. With SVN copy I've made the copy myself on my local machine I just need to add the folder to the repository. Six of one, half a dozen of another?

This page explains SVN copy:

but not really what its doing behind the scenes or if I can be used as a client side Branch/Tag.

Thanks,
Ron
