My Startup disk is not shown in the available disks to be backed up. How can I fix this?

Time Machine is simple and doesn't backup to the same drive your are booting from.and it has been always like that. If you want other options then you need a 'cloning' software like Carbon Copy Cloner.

Open TM preferences->Options, now click on the plus button to add your HD.
This only works if you are trying to back up your start-up HD, as Satcomer said you cannot backup "to" your start-up HD.
