I have a setup with /var/lib/backuppc mounted to a 1 TB Firewire 800
drive. From a standpoint local to BackupPC, it's transparent. With USB
you'll be limited to 480 Mbps minus overhead, but that's about the
only real consideration I'm aware of--and that's still 60 MB/s
theoretical, which you probably won't reach, anyway.
