One way is to let HAL mount them. For this to work, you will need to
remove the entries in /etc/fstab. If you do want to have entries in
/etc/fstab for them, use partition labels instead of device names.

LABEL=/backup        /backup          ext3    defaults        1 2

You can use e2label to label ext2/3 partitions. You can check the
list archives or ask here on how to label other types of partitions.
