If you set the partition label for the target of a file system archive,
then the use of findmnt eliminates the need for a special location. For
example:
findmnt -P -t ext4,xfs -o source,target,label
Note, the file systems in the example should be set to what you use for
your archive media.

As an aside, I have a set of USB drives at a client location. All have
the label "archives" on the partition. I then create an fstab entry:
LABEL=archives /media/archives ext4 noauto 0 2

drives out at will, and just before t
