Q:

Tricky system recovery point scenario

Alright, I'll get right to it.  
How do you create an active system recovery point in windows 8.1 on 1 hard drive covering 2 hard drives in a computer?
Basically I want my 1TB HDD continuously doing this and not my OS SSD on my laptop.  The laptop I got is asus rog g750jm-ds71 and yes I already updated everything.  I would really be grateful if someone could give me some advice on this.  I googled it and couldn't find anything on my particular scenario.

Source How to Change the System Restore location 

The System Restore points are stored in the System Volume Information
folder. This is a hidden folder. Follow these steps to display the
folder.

In File Explorer, select the View Tab.
On the right side, click the Options drop down menu and select Change
folder and search options.
In the Folder Options dialog, click the View Tab.
Select the option Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Click Apply OK.

You cannot move this folder off of the drive that System Restore is
monitoring.

...

Does this mean that if W8 is on Partition "C" that the System Recovery Points MUST BE stored on Partition "C" as well and can NOT be stored on another partition (as I would like them to be)?
Yes. Restore points are 100% tied to the partition they are made on
and cannot be moved. Ever. They are of no use to any other drive, even
for storage as restore points work on a much deeper level on the
system that folder redirection cannot cover.
Your best bet is to use the System Restore options to control how much
space System Restore points will take on the drive, then configure
your external hard drive for something like File History or Windows 7
File Recovery (the old backup tool).
