Does this mean that if W8 is on Partition "C" that the System Recovery Points MUST BE stored on Partition "C" as well and can NOT be stored on another partition (as I would like them to be)?
Yes. Restore points are 100% tied to the partition they are made on and cannot be moved. Ever. They are of no use to any other drive, even for storage as restore points work on a much deeper level on the system that folder redirection cannot cover.
Your best bet is to use the System Restore options to control how much space System Restore points will take on the drive, then configure your external hard drive for something like File History or Windows 7 File Recovery (the old backup tool).
