Hey @Erik_Carlin_Technica, welcome to the forum!

At the moment Duplicati is geared towards always available destinations, so there isn’t a built-in feature to “run backup when destination found” (like CrashPlan had).

  • use an external tool to detect the USB connect event and trigger a command-line backup execution

Try searching the forum for USB - you may find some other useful items such as:
