SQL Cluster instance does not see all drives

As DBA on SQL 2014 FCI, I wanted to do a local backup. However, I do not see all drives available on the VM . I only see the drives added as storage disks in the FCI UI.
in order to see this drive, do I need to add it to storage disks in FCI?

Thank you,

    Hi @SeHor ,

    1.What you see is one normal UI, the drives of each node are not included in the FCI UI. So you can not see it.However,You can see drives of each node as next screenshot shows:

    2.Yes. You do. If you need one new requirement for one new disk to backup, you can add it as this : how-to-add-a-new-disk-to-an-existing-sql-server-failover-clustered-instance
