    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.

    Folders on D Drive not showing in Restore Files from Current Backup

    I'm using Windows 10 Backup to create file history on external drive (Seagate Expansion Drive 2TB). I selected folders both from C drive and D drive. I can have restored successfully files from C drive Folders using the Restore options. However, I can
    not see any of my D drive folder when in the restore. Why are they not appearing? Through File explore I can see the D Drive Folders and files ahve been backed up but can not see them in Restore options. In Restore only C diver folders are appearance.
    Please advise on how to get all drives appearing in restore.
