Honestly I can say not really at all. What is the better way to do this. Reset the USB drive to 0 bytes then copy data to a new drive each night?

I would like to run a command line to format W: /q /c /FS:NTFS /V:F10%day of month% However the drive letter is not always W: Some days it is D: Some H: some whatever. Is there a way to command line find the USB drive, (only one each day), assign it a letter (W:) Then run my format command and my backup (Copy) command later? The variable for day of month I have sorted. I just need to get the drive letter to be the same every day So I can schedule. Server is a 2012 R2. I can use DISKPART if needed (Will need a little guidance if it is required.)
