I do a regular backup of the PST file, but would like to backup individual
emails in stored file folders. Any suggestions?
 
Email folders are not stored separately from the rest of the PST file. If
you want to store them separately, then you'd need to create a second PST
file to which you could copy them.
 
I have a number of file folders where I store emails for easy retreval by
category. I would like to remove earlier emails to a back up folder. If I
need them later, I would like to be able to restore them to my working
folder.
If I try to get emails from say 2006, I currently have to restore my entire
PST file from the backup, losing current files.
At least that's how I understand the problem.

You should be able to pull the old emails from an archive folder. That is how
I do it.
 
Then you either need to use the instructions I've already posted or
configure Auto archive to do what you want.

Your understanding is flawed. "Restoring" data from a backup PST in no way
overwrites or removes any current data. Just open the backup PST as a
second PST and then, if you wish, copy items it contains to appropriate
locations in your main PST.
