I've done it, but not for many years, and in some ways that part of my brain has become abandonware just like the software I used back then to do it, (maybe ext2fs & double commander for Windows) to map the partition as a separate drive. Because you are using it for Windows backup you must defragment it and do the partitioning from Windows first and probably format the Linux part as fat32. There are many nit-picky and qualifying factors involved in the process. I would search and then ask at W7 forum.
