Back support for drywall patch

Everyone talks about how to put a thin strip of wood behind the hole that you're patching so that you can attach the drywall.I can do that, but I'm having problems visualizing how you would attach the wood backing. Is it as simple screwing a hole in the surrounding drywall and into the wood backing, or is it something more. I'm just having trouble seeing it because drywall isn't very strong, so using drywall to hold up the backing wood, so that you can secure the patch sounds like a recipe for a bigger hole to patch.

How the heck would you know if it's a new idea or not? You never researched it so don't pull that baloney. You NEVER research ANYTHING you just belch out your question and it's pretty poor to blame it on newbie status; it shows your ignorance.
