Forget if anyone else answered this already, but in case you haven't,
then I would suggest the first option.
Getting ubuntu (linux) to mount a drive at a specific location is pretty
easy. Edit /etc/fstab, and copy one of the example lines there:
/dev/sdb1 /var/lib/backuppc ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
Assuming you use ext4 and sdb is the USB drive. Probably better is to
find out the UUID, and specify that instead of /dev/sdb1:
UUID=a3d8c557-544e-3832-37b9-1913affd8ae2 /var/lib/backuppc ext4
defaults,noatime 0 1
Maybe someone else can comment on the best way to find out the UUID for
your drive/partition....
