Software cannot back up external drive

I bought this drive as a backup drive for another Seagate 5TB drive. The "One Touch" version cost about $25 more than my first drive, but it comes with the software needed to create a backup, so the extra $25 seemed reasonable. When I tried to create a backup plan using the Toolkit software, only the C: drive is backed up. Even in the advanced settings (see figure 2) it doesn't recognize that I have connected another drive (F:). I can still drag and drop files from one drive to another, but there's no way to sync them that way like mirroring. I need to buy other backup software which means I would be better off buying 2 cheaper Seagate drives instead of the "One Touch" version. I deducted 2 stars because the backup options are too basic. This will probably work well if you store all your data on the C: drive and don't need to back up any external or attached drives.
