Using Backup sets
Backup sets allow you to save different sets of files for backup. You could have one set for large backups of your whole Home folder every week and other sets for a few small files that change every day. You can have any number of backup sets for different purposes. Each sets has its own list of backup files added to the main window and whatever unique preferences you choose in the preferences panel. You can select more than one set. press the backup button, and backuplist+ will process them one at a time until done
