Can you help me about bind mounts, please?

I usually use symlinks (having a bind mount just for a nsf mount in
fstab), and I'm not very experienced with bind mounts.

Say I want to "move" /home/me/desktop from a SSD system disk to
/media/data onto a different disk (to reduce writings on SSD).
I would do this:
$ cp -p -R /home/me/.claws-mail/ /media/data/claws-mail
$ mv /home/me/.claws-mail /home/me/.claws-mail.bak
$ ln -s /media/data/claws-mail /home/me/.claws-mail

Instead, what would it be like using a bind mount?

Once this is done, with the bind mount:
- this will avoid writings on the SSD (or it is a sort of mirror)?
- actual data will be only on /media/data/claws-mail ?
- which data I should backup?
- which mount options I should use?

Thank you in advance
