External hard drive wake up software?
Hey, I have an external hard drive, I would like to use just for backups. I'm not sure yet whether they will be nightly, weekly, or what, but I got a question. Is there any way to hook up an external drive, have it powered off most of the time, and have the backup software turn the drive on to do the backups, and then turn it off when the backup is done? I just don't want to have to keep this drive running all the time if it's only going to be accessed once a week or so. Any ideas?
