Windows 10: Win10 Backup and Restore (Windows 7) Does not see my 2nd hard drive

So I have used the backup and restore (windows 7) from the control panel in the past to do a system image backup. I usually just use my 2nd hard drive in my PC. Oddly enough it when I go to the Hard disk option. My second hard drive does not appear on this list. I do run myself as a Standard user, but I have the same result when I login to my admin account too. I want to upgrade to 1909 but I want to make a system image first.

Free hard drive backup/restore program?

I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?

 

Windows 7 Backup question

Hi, I have Windows 7 x64 HP. I've used the backup and restore feature to backup on an external drive, and I've also burned a copy of the restore software that it wished me to burn onto a CD. My question is, if ever my PC fails or something and I need to restore my files, will I need anything beyond the external drive and the backup CD? Or will I need the original OS CD as well? I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista but I don't have my Vista disc anymore (lost it a long time ago), which basically means the Windows 7 upgrade disc shouldn't work either (to be honest, I haven't touched the disc in nearly a year so I don't really know where the W7 update disc is either :/). Thanks.
