OneCare backs up by File Type and will, by default, scan pretty much all of the
drive for files to backup except for \Windows and \Program Files, with a few
exceptions.
You can add more locations to the exclusion so as to narrow down your backup
selection to a specific folder or folders, but you are still limited by the
exclusions of types that were defined - exe, dll, etc. - the full list can be
found by going to Help in OneCare, and searching on the topic "Backup."
I am doubtful that OneCare will be given the option to override these
exclusions, so if that's important to yo, you should look into an alternative
backup solution.
