I see two ways of achieving what you want:
1. always create OldFiles (or name it BACKUP) in each volume and create the
backup volume on volume creation time
2. just mount the volume somewhere temporary, create the mountpoint to
BACKUP and unmount the volume again. (Yes, a volume can be mounted
multiple times, wherever you want.)

HTH! Tino.
