Helo,

The first problem is to use this kind of auto mounting for your disk. 

It is for simple user not to use in an system administrator point of view.

To move /var/lib/backuppc  to a new disk permanently you must at least.

Stop backuppc
add a permanetly entry in the /etc/fstab file to mount your new disk in 
/var/lib/backuppc
move backuppc to backuppc.old (use mv …)
recreate the diectory (mkdir /var/lib/backuppc)
mount your new disk (use mount /var/lib/backuppc if your /etc/fstab is correct 
is suffisant)
give the good owner (chown backuppc /var/lib/backuppc)
give the good group (chgrp backuppc /var/lib/backuppc)
move the existing files (rsync or tar …)
restart backuppc

and take a long breath.

Best regard.
