Your 'backup' drive is the OEM recovery partition, and exists such that you
can do a recovery, sometimes only a destructive recovery depending upon
manufacturer.
You should NOT be backing up or saving ANYTHING to that drive.
If you want to back up properly, you should buy an external USB hard drive
and Acronis TrueImage, OR buy a complete 'one touch' external backup
solution.
