Extremely bad idea: malware affecting your files will at the same
time affect your backup files.
Connect it / power it up when you're about to make a backup, right
thereafter disconnect it / power it down.
Even then there's of course some risk, but it's a lot smaller than
when leaving the drive on & connected permanently.
