Good morning!
I am trying to figure out a way to easily swap between 3 external USB hard drives on a Server 2012 R2 virtual machine that runs via Hyper-V. I have 3 external hard drives, each is 2 terabytes in size. These 3 drives are going to be used to backup the C: drive of the virtual server.
Is there a way to avoid the hassle of having to initialize each drive manually on the server after I unplug one drive and then connect another? I don't ever want more than 1 drive connected at a time. For example, if I have drive 1 plugged in and my backup cycle is complete I would like to be able to unplug that first drive and then plug in the 2nd drive without having to go back into the drive management and initialize the drive I just plugged in. Is that possible? I haven't been able to find anyone that seems to be doing this, so I may be out of luck.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
