Rotated Drives - Physical switching steps for BU Copy Job

[zulea]

We have setup a Backup Copy job and it is backed by rotated drives. I see that it runs continuously. From what I understand it is waiting and kicking in once a Backup Job finishes with the latest run. My question, since the job is "running" all the time, is how are people pulling the drive and putting the next one in place physically?
We have a USB docking station and it holds the 1 HDD and I currently disable the BU Copy job and walk into the server room and pull that drive and place the next drive in the dock. Then I go back and enable the BU Copy Job.
Does that sound correct?

Windows 2019 Server. Power off the USB dock before I switch the drives...

Thanks

Replacing the drive after the data has been copied to it sounds good to me. So does disabling backup copy job before drive replacement. Thanks!

When you highlight a job you can see the last 5 minutes of activity. If this Backup Copy job is idle and I know we are not in our backup window do I have to disable the job before switching drives?

You do not, it's just additional safety measure. Thanks!
