Backup individual folders/files

I just now am trying to use the Backup in Vista. I do not see a way to backup
individual folders and/or files, only full drives. Did MS take this
functionality away? It looks like we can still do differential and
incremental backups but I don't want to look through multiple backups looking
for what I need. I just want to backup certain folders daily no matter what
contents may or may not have changed.

Am I missing something?

RE: Backup individual folders/files

As of this build its my understanding that you can only backup the whole
drive using windows backup.

There is no individual file backup in this build.
