My back up drive is full. I transferred it all to my jump drive. So now is
it ok to clear my back up drive, so I may back up my current C drive?

It is not a good idea to entrust a jump drive to keep safe all of your
backups.

What size is your backup drive? Is it a partition within your boot drive?

Yes it is within my boot drive and it is showing 10GB with my main showing
back up failure due to insufficient room. So can I make the Back up lareger
using storage management? Thanks for the reply

Your 'backup' drive is the OEM recovery partition, and exists such that you
can do a recovery, sometimes only a destructive recovery depending upon
manufacturer.

You should NOT be backing up or saving ANYTHING to that drive.

If you want to back up properly, you should buy an external USB hard drive
and Acronis TrueImage, OR buy a complete 'one touch' external backup
solution.
