Backing up SSD to HDD

[DanTheMuffinMan]

Hello guys, hoping this is the right area to ask.

 

Recently my SSD (Kingston 240GB HyperX) died and I was able to get it replaced under warranty, but I lost some data in the process. I want to know if there is an easy way to clone my entire SSD to my HDD so that I can easily recover it if the SSD ever dies again.

 

My current configuration is:

Windows 8.1 Pro

240 GB Kingston HyperX SSD, C:, boot drive
4 TB WD Black HDD, D:, 1.36 TB free, storage drive

 

Ideally I would want something that clones the entire drive to a separate partition within the HDD (so I could use it as a boot drive if I really needed to) and would automatically sync every day.

 

Any advice? (I've never done RAID before and the only back-up utility I've ever used is SyncToy)

I was thinking of doing something similar but haven't found a solution yet. I'm pretty sure that popular backup software can make drive images. If you find something that works for you, please let us know. Thanks !
