Backing up specific folders only

[Myles Cooley]

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?

Windows Home Premium has backup, and it works nicely. The only thing it can't do is save to a network location. Other than that, it's the same as Professional.

Welcome,

I checked on my computer HPremium. The only selection that I had in backup and restore, was which drive to back up on, and which users documents.
