Not aware of anything that will do this automatically. However you could customise the autoplay dialogue in windows, this is the box that pops up when you insert your usb drive and gives you a list of actions. You could add a custom option to start windows backup. Then the first time you plug it in, highlight the backup software, and then tick the 'always perform this action' box, click ok. Then each subsequent time you plug in the drive your backup software should start automatically? I haven't done this myself but worth a try.
