Creating a new backup set folder

I currently use the Vista (Ultimate) Backup and Restore Center to back up my
files. I would like to create a new backup set folder (for example, Backup
Set 2007-11-01 091921) so that I can delete older backup files to save disk
space. When I manually backup using the Back up files button in the Backup
and Restore Center, it simply creates another backup folder (Backup Files
12-25 154345) within the existing set folder, not a new set. Can someone
please advise me how to create a new backup set folder?

John - keep in mind that following the first backup - following backups are
incremental in nature - therefore folder and size generation. Backup is
"suppose" to automatically delete older backups to meet space requirements.

Thanks for the advice. I was able to create the new backup set following
your directions.
