I don't think the OP was concerned about leaving hints on the pen drive
that it was backed up, but on the machine used to back it up.
This is why my suggestion is, if you are concerned about leaving traces,
lock up the drive with all the traces, just like you probably do all the
backups. Then you can know that there aren't any traces left behind that
you didn't think of.
