My first reaction would be to use udev rules.
I've done this to assign USB UART devices specific /dev/xxx names.
This would allow you to create a link from /dev/ttyUSB0 ->
/dev/myCoolUSBItem
I suggest searching for udevadm and udev rules to translate /dev/sdb(x) to
/dev/myBackupDrive.

Several years ago I discovered
Question about tools and concepts for hard drive to
device name assignment.
I'd like to force second SATA drives to be assigned to
/dev/sdbX, and USB drives to be assigned to /dev/sdcX,
/dev/sddX (etc) without worrying about the accidental
boot order or the 128 bit UUIDs of particular drives.
