backups

Hello,

My hard drive is split into a C; and an E: drive. The E: drive has all my
data files on it, documents, pics, etc etc.

I recently bought an external hard drive (Iomega) to use for backing up my
data files. It connects to a usb port and works fine.

I have no problem copying my E: directories to the external drive, but
whenever I try to use Vista's 'backup' program I get major problems.

I cannot seem to select only my E: drive for backup. The program insists on
backing up chunks of my C: drive as well. All sorts of irrelevant stuff is
being copied, including program ini files, xml files, bmp files (even from
games).

All I want to do is backup my data files on E:

Help pls
