Selecting a category as the content of your advanced backup will only back up files located in the standard Windows user folders corresponding to that category.

Limiting your backup to the “Include designated data folders only” option will result in a faster, more efficient backup. This choice is preferable if you typically save data in the Windows-designated folders, such as My Documents and My Pictures.

To cast a wider net, you can choose to search for relevant files on all internal hard disks. This will slow down the backup process, but is more thorough.
