Changing a Backup Procedure?

Thread needs solution

I have a backup procedure setup that I run for backing up my system. I have my harddrive in 3 partitions (C,D,E) and I back them all up to an External Harddrive (F). I have some folders on F that I would like to backup as well (not the entire drive, just certain folders). I went into my backup procedure to see how to add some folders on F to the existing C,D,E partitions backups, but cannot seem to figure out how to modify the existing procedure to add the folders on F that I want to backup.

Chan someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

While editing is possible, it is a process prone to errors; if you need to change a task, it is advisable to delete the old and create a new one.

But if you are bound and determined, the User Guides discusses the topic:

Having said all that, if your existing tasks are set up to do parittion backups to the F drive, you can't add files to them. YO should set up a separate task for doing a files backups.

A workaround would be copy the desired F: files to one of the partitions to be backed up, then running the backup. I think doing a separate file backup would be easier.
