Windows 7 Backup not backing up custom library?

I have created a custom Library under Windows 7 64bit professional to handle my source code. When I tried Windows Backup and Restore for the first time I get the following error

"Have a look at KB979281, this should explain what's happening and how to resolve it.

This issue occurs if you back up a library that contains custom
folders that are located under your user profile.

To resolve this issue, take one of the following actions:


Move the library folder from the
user profile path to a location outside the user profile path. For
example, move the folder to the C:\MyLibraries folder.
Exclude the library from the list of files that Windows Backup backs up.
Then include the original location of the content in the library in the
backup list.
Move the library folder to a location other than the user
profile folder. Then, add a link to the moved folder from the library.
Make sure that the library is included in the backup."

"This thread discusses the problem : RC backup error 0x80070002.

An official Microsoft answer is included towards the end by ""Sneha [MSFT]"", but I would suggest reading the entire thread.

However, one of the participants has solved his problem by creating the named file, which is apparently a bad profile name that was defined in some unknown way. So better check if this file does exist on your computer."
