Adding a set will allow you to name a backup selection set and then set a root folder for inclusion. Because of how Kodi handles it's file browser I couldn't just let you browse the system carte blanche. You can either choose to select a folder within the "special://home" directory (default) or type your own path to start as the root. You can get as granular here as you want. Only selecting a specific addon to backup, or a specific sub folder.
Once the set is added you can select it to edit it or delete it. Editing a set allows you to see the root folder and add exclusions. By default the root folder is recursed and all files/directories added. You can select a folders to exclude; adding as many exclusions as you want to trim the backup set to a selection you want.

__Can I exclude an entire directory EXCEPT for specific folders?__
Yes. This is somewhat non-intuitive at first glance. By default the root directory is included in the backup set, along with all files and folders within. Remove this included folder from the set.
