Feeling Stupid

Hi, Retrospect Runners, This is an easy question, I think, but I can't find it addressed in the User's Guide. (Note I didn't say it's not *in* the User's Guide; just that I can't find it. :-) I created a backup set based on a selector I built. After I did the first backup to that backup set,
