Jay,
Unfortunately there is not way to link a StorageSet to a specific folder in
an immediate backup, but here are a few things you may want to consider
trying:
1. Create a selector with all of the above conditions (System Folder,
folders A, B, & C). You can do this by clicking on the selecting option and
going to more choices. Diasble the ones you are not using for any given
StorageSet before running the backup.
2. Create a script for each folder linking them to the desired StorageSet.
Without scheduling the script, create run documents for each one and execute
the backup by clicking on ther appropriate run document. This requires more
work on the front end, but will be easy once you have it set-up.
