Help with USB auto connecting to Virtual machine running in EXSI 5.1

Hey there, I'm relatively new to this forum but i was looking for some help with a problem i am having.

I'm trying to make backing up easier for myself. I'm trying to find a way that I can connect my external backup and have it connect to the Virtual machine running in VMware. This connection needs to be done with no input from the user (eg i plug the backup drive into the host and it connects to the running virtual machine). After the backup is completed the USB will be removed. Also i am not using the same hard drive every time (for backup reasons) im switching between 3 different ones.Anyone know of a way that VMware can do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
