    This is getting complicated. All I need is a recommendation for Cloning Software and I'll figure it out on my own.

    It is not complicated

    Cloning usually means directly from one disk/partition to another disk/partition

    So if you clone C to a partition on a different disk, then clone D to that same partition, the second clone overwrites the first.

    imaging usually means from a disk/partition into a file. You can store several image files on the same partition if it is big enough.

    you asked for 2 files, therefore what you want is a program that will create image files.

    Image file can later be restored to a disk/partition if or when desired. Also usually the image file can be mounted in some way to extract any individual files/folders .

    Cloning is for exactly that. You are not cloning anything, just doing a 1 for 1 copy to two different partitions

    Not knowing how to create and upload a "Diskmanagement" screenshot is not a good precondition for a successful Cloning.

    Fine - I won't waste my time trying to help then.

    The cloning I do is byte for byte, all the bytes on the Source drive are copied to the Destination drive, either both drives are the same size or the Destination drive is larger. Think "Dolly the Sheep" for what cloning is.
