This should not be the case. You should be able to backup your entire PC. Millions of people have PC's with primary, secondary and even third or fourth internal harddrives, which all need to be backed up. There is an option to backup one internal and one external, why not just make it so you can do 2,3, or 4 drives no matter if theyre external or internal? Doesn't make any sense. For my situation, I have my OS and heavy use files on my SSD (primary) and my other lighter use programs and files on my HDD (Secondary). I need to backup the secondary, but there is currently not a way to do so. And that doesn't really do me any good as a backup service if its that limiting.
