I have googled around and found some reasons as to why Backup and Recovery requires user interaction, but I do not know how to work around this.

I found this article:
http://forum.acronis.com/content/1805

We are using windows 2003 to backup to an external Dell RD1000 (not a flash drive). The RD1000 "cartridges" are formatted NTFS (not FAT32) but windows does detect the drive as a "removable media" drive. So I'm not exactly sure why we are seeing the prompts to "Insert New Media".

The only purpose of this drive is to handle backups using Backup and Recovery. We only plan to store 1-2 backups on each cartridge and rotate the cartridge with another offsite cartridge every week.

The fact that the backup always requires interaction has made it impossible for me to schedule backups for off hours.

Is there anyway around this? Possibly trick windows into thinking the RDS1000 is an external hard drive?

Any help would be appreciated.

Digging through the settings I found an option for "Ask for first media when backing up to removable media".

My mistake for not trying to dig through the settings first and simply "googling".
