Some back up software allows you to create a partition on the same drive to store the backups, this can then be copied to your external drive when you want. But just to add it's not recommended to back up to the same drive even a seperate part on as if the drive goes it will take your backups with it.
FYI I use Paragon Backup and Recovery.
As said by stoneblade, create another partition, use Easus todo, Paragon Gparted, MiniTool Partition Wizard
Then using Clonzilla, Todo Backup or Paragon, create an Image of the main partition, saving it to the second parttion. That means, if the main partition is corrupted, you can restore the image from to second partition to the first. You can also save files on the second partition, but just as files.
But thinking long term, why don't you save important documents to a cloud like gdrive or Onedrive
