Hi - I have an external WD drive that I use to store disk images of my OS and data drives (using Macrium Reflect). I have these images scheduled and everything is working fine. Of course I need to unlock the drive using the WD Drive Unlock GUI interface before the clone schedule kicks off.

However, I was wondering if it's possible to schedule an event to unlock the drive, then run my backup, then re-lock the drive automatically an hour or two later without my intervention. I'd like to protect my back-up drive from ransomware. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
