    Alright so I analyzed the disk in Reflect. I'm not sure if I should stick with my clone or format the drive and make an image of the original, because once this entire process is complete I won't have any backup media except for my 1tb drive.

    You could make a second partition on the 1tb drive and save an image of the 2tb drive to a single image file on the extra partition on the 1tb drive, if you are that concerned about it. Then when you can, get a second drive (preferably USB) for backup purposes.
