This phenomenon is a Geoworks feature.  In the same way that a 
parallel file structure on the memory card, eg. 
C:\GEOWORKS\DOCUMENT, is mirrored by the B[INTERNAL] drive to 
the system, it is also mirrored to the Backup utility.  The Backup 
utility only copies all of whatever it sees in the 
B[INTERNAL]:\GEOWORKS\DOCUMENT folder.  It sees what the 
system sees. 

While there is a good reason to do this -- you still need to back up 
your working copies of files wherever they are -- you can disable the 
backup of the C:\GEOWORKS\DOCUMENT  by temporarily by 
renaming either of the folder names.  You may also want to keep only 
your working files in C:\GEOWORKS\DOCUMENT, and other less-used 
files in another folder on C:\.
