Virus or Trojan killed my system and backups

Thread needs solution

Hi,
Recently had a virus or Trojan killed my laptop and all drives attched to my system. This included the USB backup 2tb drive. So when I went to restore from the backup, it was gone.. :(

Is there a way to hide the backup USB drive from future attacks? Somehow have a setup like a Secure Acronis Zone but on a USB.. My laptop space does not allow me to have this zone.

Thanks for any ideas... Need to be protected and can not have this happen again!

Glen:

The best and simplest method is to keep the USB drive disconnected. Only connect it when doing a backup. This advice applies not only for protection against viruses, but also for protection against damage from electrical surges, lightning, etc.
