For example, if you have an external device with the Volume Label "MY BOOK", you can define a backup source as `$BackupSources["MY BOOK"]=@()`. I would recommend using the device serial number to identify external drives to backup, which you can find using the Powershell `get-disk` command. You may also want to set `$IgnoreMissingBackupSources=$true` to avoid seeing errors when the removable drive is not present.
