If i understand correctly,
Your [E] Backup drive has 470 GB free space
Your (Windows) drive uses 561 GB space
Windows built-in backup utility does not use compression, you don't have enough free space on [E]
An imaging program such as Macrium Reflect free uses compression, so a backup image should be around 300 GB, and would fit on [E]
You can free up space on [E] to use the built-in utility, or use a different program such as Macrium.
Now for the real fun, your Disk Management is a mess :(
You have 3 Active partitions - E, J, and D
You should only have 1 Active partition, having more causes problems
An Active partition shows where a bootloader is installed
The [J] drive is the [B]System[/B] drive, that shows where the bootloader is that was used to start Windows
If Windows is installed into unallocated space it creates a System Reserved partition for the bootloader and a [C] partition for the Windows OS
I believe you installed into unallocated space and that's why you have a System Reserved partition
If Windows is installed into a pre-defined partition it installs the bootloader and Windows into that partition as [C]
Either way is fine, i believe most systems have a System Reserved partition for the bootloader.
When installing Windows only the drive where Windows is being installed should be connected.
All other drives should be disconnected during the install.
I believe you installed Windows with other drives connected causing this
[U][B]If you want to try to fix your current install, try this:[/B][/U]
Move the bootmgr to System Reserved [D], here is a tutorial for moving the bootmgr:

Reboot the PC, check Disk Management and make sure [D] is the [B]System, Active[/B] partition
If everything looks ok, shut down and disconnect Disk 0 [J], and Disk 2 [E]
Reboot and see if Windows boots up ok
If all that works, shutdown and reconnect Disk 0 [J], and Disk 2 [E]
Boot up
Set [J] and [E] to inactive and reboot, here is a tutorial:

Post a new screen print of Disk Management
Your [C] partition uses 561 GB, so i believe you store USER data on [C] such as Photos, Videos, Documents, etc.
Many people (myself included) only use the [C] Partition for the OS and installed programs.
All User data is stored on a different partition such as [D].
That allows for for a much smaller [C] drive, and smaller/faster system backup images.
The OS + Programs partition can be restored without affecting user data.
That's a different discussion, just making you aware of the possibility.
Sorry for the long-winded reply
My suggestions are for a single-boot, Legacy BIOS, MBR setup.
Multi-boot, UEFI, GPT, etc. work differently
