cloning a drive to a USB storage device

Thread needs solution

I have Acronis 2014 professional. I am trying to clone a drive to a back up storage device. My hope is to be able to connect the source to the motherboard (sata) and clone it to a directory aptly named on a USB 2TB drive. I want to do this with several different drives so I will be able to purchase a new hard drive (sata) and then restore the info I already cloned onto it. Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
When I attempt this although the USB drive shows up in my destination selection it is grayed out and I cannot select it. I might be doing this all wrong but I really need some help. Thanks

The clone operation is designed for whole disk to whole disk or whole partition to whole partition transfer. Since you are attempting to do this to a folder it is not accessible thus grayed out.

Thanks. So i WAS going about it all wrong. Thank you for responding. I have alot to learn
