Isolate USB Drive

Thread needs solution

I would like to have a script which disconnects my USB backup drive except win it is backing up or restoring. I understand that ransomware will encrypt an attached USB drive which makes the whole backup thing useless.

Lawrence, welcome to these user forums.

There is no simple way to do what you ask directly within ATIH but you may be able to use Pre/Post Commands in conjunction with a batch command script or third=party tools to do this.

See webpage: Drive Tools for Windows for some freeware tools that may help.
