Really, and both of you have answered his question so well, I see.

 

For the OP, what b/up software are you using? And why can't, if the other two wastrels are correct, you back up to D:? If it is just a choice, what is the external drive? Did it not come with b/up software? Both Seagate and WD offer free tools that automatically set the external drive as the b/up target.

Have you gone through these steps to get to the backup wizard?

http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-81-tip-use-system-image-backup

 

Does this wizard have an option to only back up the C drive or an option to only backup the OS?

You could use EaseUS to make a disk image of the C drive, which would function as a backup if your OS failed.

You could also check out Redo Backup and Recovery.
