Back up a storage drive in Vista?

I have my regular C:/ drive for my program installs but I also have a D:/
drive to store all of my document, pictures, videos etc. Im using Vista x64
Ultimate and was wondering is it possible to use the built in back-up tools
to back up my D:/ drive?

Thanks!

How so? I only see the option to back my c:\ drive to my d:\ drive, not
actually back up the d:\ drive.

Thanks

Yes you can with Complete PC Backup. Where are you trying to place the
backup file? From Start | Help and Support search on Complete PC Backup.
Look in the "Backup and restore" frequently asked questions" for answers
your question.
