  1. Disconnect and reconnect File History drive


    I have been trying to find the way to disconnect my drive after a backup has run. I do not want the drive to be connected all the time but just connect it a few times a day or when anything major changes. I have noticed that the external drive runs even when there is no activity and I cannot remove the drive using the "eject hardware" task. If I were able to connect and disconnect this drive at will, my backup plans would be complete.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    I hope everyone has a safe and sane Fourth of July.
