It's currently backing up a sub folder onto an external drive (my backup drive). This is why I looking for [change].
I am trying to backup everything on my data/application Drive, from the Root, so it gets everything on the drive.
By default, Time Machine will back up your entire system. If you're sure it's only backing up one folder, you (or someone) must have excluded all sorts of other things. Click the Options button on the Preferences window to see the exclusion list.
It should look something like this:
But with lots and lots of exclusions.
I suspect your whole Mac really is getting backed-up, but you're just not seeing them. What you see in the "Star Wars" display depends on what's on your screen when you Enter Time Machine. If you have a Finder window showing just that sub-folder, when you Enter Time Machine that's all you'll see.
If you start with a Finder window showing, say, your home folder, that's what you'll see in the "Star Wars" display. If your Finder windows have sidebars, once in Time Machine you can select other things in the sidebar to display.
You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15A.
