Although there are software solutions to do the kind of thing you suggest, I
*strongly* that you reconsider that idea and do *not* do this.

Backup to a second non-removable hard drive is better than no backup at
all, but just barely. The problem is that it leaves you susceptible to
simultaneous loss of the original and backup to many of the most common
dangers: severe power glitches, nearby lightning strikes, virus attacks,
even theft of the computer.

If your data is important to you, it should backed up to removable media.
That backup should *not* be stored within the computer.
