Backing up specific folders only

I only want to back up certain folders. I went to the tutorial and printed "How to Backup User and System Files in Windows 7 & it advised to go to either Control Panel or Computer and then there would be options. These options don't exist on my system. If I go to Control Panel, I get a window to Backup and Restore My Files. There is no way to choose specific files. The default setting is "Backup Files in libraries and personal folders for specific users". Why don't I get these other screen options as the tutorial says? and how do I back up specific folders only?
