Mike, You know I have seen this problem as well when just replacing hard drives. When using a regular SADA hard drive and replacing it a lot of times Ubuntu doesn't see the drive for whatever reason. As far as backup I think you could probaably use Bacula as the backup program i think it works for this type of stuff.
