Why is it important to not store a backup of drive C on another partition on the same hard drive?

This is because they both reside on the SAME physical drive. Buy an inexpensive thumb drive or external hard drive and store your backups there. This way is the C:\ drive fails, you still have your backup files (on the external or flash (thumb) drive).
