Question on how to backup Thunderbird Profile?

I want to back the profile up. It is located in USERS\USERID\APPDATE in Windows 8.

 

Right now I'm using Symantec System Restore 2013 and when I try to ADD the THUNDERBIRD folder located there :

 

------------

C:\Users\Irv\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird>dir
 Volume in drive C is OS
 Volume Serial Number is 1C5C-DD5E

 Directory of C:\Users\Irv\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

01/28/10  04:44 PM    <DIR>          .
01/28/10  04:44 PM    <DIR>          ..
02/21/13  10:55 AM    <DIR>          Crash Reports
02/23/13  09:51 AM    <DIR>          Profiles
05/08/09  04:56 PM               111 profiles.ini
05/08/09  04:56 PM               335 registry.dat
               2 File(s)            446 bytes

--------------------------

 

(irv is my USERID)

 

I do NOT see APPDATA when I open USERS\IRV. I even tried running SSR as Administrator?
