Do you really mean USB disk (HD via USB) or USB sticks? I'm just curious; the USB flash memory may not have a UUID.

A possible workaround is to use 'udevinfo' to work out how to uniquely identify each device. Using that information, you add a udev rule to add a symlink of your choice, for example, "usb_backup".
