Is there any command or 3rd-party tool to enable/disable USB portable drive on the fly without rebooting the Win2003 Server that it is plugged into?

This is for enabling the drive before a backup job starts, and for disabling it after backup completes for security reasons. All these should be done via scripting or cmd.exe batch file.

Thanks!
