A method for remotely power cycling a peripheral data storage system (PDSS) from a host system. The method comprises powering-up the PDSS from the host system based on a host-scheduled backup operation; transmitting pre-selected data to the PDSS from the host system based on the host-scheduled backup operation; and powering-down the PDSS from the host system based on the host-scheduled backup operation. Another method is for operating a PDSS for use with a host system configured to perform scheduled backup operations to the PDSS, the PDSS comprising a peripheral data storage device, a PDSS controller, and a peripheral data storage controller host interface adapted for communication with the host system. The method comprises powering-up the PDSS based on a host-scheduled backup operation; receiving data from the host system for storing in the peripheral data storage device; and powering-down the PDSS based on the host-scheduled backup operation.
