Backup files outside of Documents folder

I have Windows Vista Home and am using the Backup Wizard. It gives me options
to backup "Documents" but I have lots of folders outside of Documents that I
want to backup. I ran a full backup and selected "Documents" but it didn't
backup anything other than what was in that folder.

Do I need to move those other folders to be under the Documents directory in
order to get them backed up? Or is there another way I can select exactly
which directories get backed up?

Never mind. I figured out that my files were under the C: drive under the
Users directory. I found them after all.
