Legacy device names like /dev/sde are not stable or even predictable. If they "belong" to hotpluggable devices even less so. You better use a guaranteed static name like the ones found in /dev/disk/by-id/ or /dev/disk/by-uuid to address your backup disk. Or you can write your own udev-rule to create a device/symlink like /dev/backup-disk to point to the actual device name of the device and then use that as backup target.
