You can also consider using an imaging software, free Macrium is very popular here at sevenforums.
Imaging with free Macrium
You can simply take an image of the current state of your Disk 1 to Disk 2. With the amount of data on Disk 1, I guess the image file would be around 55-65 GB (normal compression rate, which is default).
If you take 1 now (keep it all the time), and also take a 2nd one later (update this one with a new one every say 10-15 days, even a month if data won't change much, your call really), the size needed would be around 130 GB, give or take.
Then you can just copy these files to an external drive too.
For the Disk2 data, you can use a file sync program (I use FreeFileSync), which detect changes and update the files on your backup drive.
The HDDRECOVER partition is to revert the OS to the day you bought the laptop, should have an option to enter at boot time, usually with a F-button. But you might have to re-install all programs that you installed yourself again.
Hope this helps.
