I want to use USB HD to backup the data in a server.
After backup, I want to stop the USB HD, so that the hacker can't find the
backup device.
But when I need to bakck up, I want to restart the device.

I usually back my data form remote computer.

Then the answer is to do everything in your power not to get viruses, right?
As well as lock down access to your server (physically) and network
(firewalls, patching, good security practices).
