Add Switchable Encrypted USB Backup Drive to Windows Server

Question

So my boss has decided that she wants a backup USB drive for a Windows Server 2008, but it needs 2 features...

HIPPA grade encryption.
She wants it to be switchable. She wants 2 USB drives, one on her at all times and the other plugged in and she'll switch them with each other daily.

Bonus: she'd prefer for it to be seamless when plugged into server and if needed, password decryption on separate machine in case of catastrophic failure or fire.

I saw something about BitLocker, but not sure of this will do it.

You mentioned to use it for Windows 2003... you know that Windows 2003 is EOL? So i would inform your boss that if he wish to ride the security train you should replace that asap! — BastianW, Nov 09 '16 at 20:45
I'm not 100% on which it is. Will double check when back at the office tonight. — hakarune, Nov 09 '16 at 21:12

Use bitlocker to go on the usb drive and add a password. That should satisfy the requirements.
