How do I eject G Drive after Back UP

Just installed G Drive & successfully completed BU. G drive does not show in Finder window. How do I eject the disk correctly until next BU?

Thank you

Do you have Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > External Disks turned on?

Disk not ejected properly problem Eject"Mac b-u" before disconnecting or turning it off shows up on booting up. I have not used the backup except for automatic preset backup. OS Ventura 13.1. This was not a problem on earlier operating systems.

External drive won't properly eject smoothly "Failed to unmount external disk because it's still in use." How do I see what is still in use? I can't eject it, Disk Utility won't eject it. I have manually closed everything (no dots under programs), restarted finder, emptied trash, no joy. After exhausting those options I clicked "Force Eject" where it did eject, but when I plugged it back in and ran disk utility's first aid, it failed to run again. Thanks in advance, Steve.
