I am looking for a backup software that detects if my USB-Hard drive is connected and then starts a backup.

Windows 7 can backup on external hard drive, but if the hard drive is not connected it just skips the backup.

Is there a program or script that helps me?

I didn't use this much on Win7 (just once, it works) but used this more often on WinXP laptop & this worked perfectly for me for usb keys/drives:

Does what it says on the tin, free for home use & you can use the setup as described in scripting examples.

You set it to check every X seconds, then it sleeps until execution time, and will not run again unless the app is restarted or the usb drive is reconnected.

I have not used this software myself and i could not find any free software that meet your requirements. Hope it's what you are after. This program offers a trial period. http://backupusb.com/
Adware has been reported with trial.
