I use a common drive label for the four disks I rotate. I recommend auto mount so that if your machine should restart for any reason the disk will remount protecting the local drive from running out of space. I manually stop and start the backuppc.service and then have a couple scripts, one to umount the drive and another to remount.
I was hoping for a way to have unique labels so I could tell which drive was mounted remotely. But my research so far hasn't revealed a way to do that. Neither the mount command nor systemd mount unit file has a feature to list multiple labels for the same mount point.
I'm using a pair of systemd .mount and .automount unit files to mount my backup media. I do mount it directly to /var/lib/BackupPC and then bind-mount the etc directory there to /etc/BackupPC so the config stays with it and can easily be used on a replacement computer.
