Back up doesn't give C:\ subfolders as an option

I have many working files in subdirectories in my root c:\ drive, example c:\jobs. On the backup window it only gives me the option to backup preset windows folders like \documents,  \pictures \ desktop, etc. How can I have access to point at items in my c:\ when setting up a backup plan ?

    I'm afraid you cant. 

    The only options you can back up are the ones specified within the software - i.e. the pre-set ones.
