You don't need to clone. Just copy the entire drive to the other - Ctlr-A to highlight the entire contents, Ctrl-C to copy, then go to the new empty drive and Ctrl V to paste.
Acronis is excellent software at cloning system drives with software and the OS on it - something you can't do with copy-paste.
Once you have the contents of the drive copied over, then you can do an incremental "sync" between the two drives using the software of your choice.
Gene....I suppose you could do the same with copying the files from your computer to the original backup drive. I can't remember if there is something in Windows that would do an incremental sync. I need to get a Windows 10 book.
