Syntax help in fstab needed

I just added a external ssd-drive (USB) to my VM (Ubuntu 20.04).

Im trying to set it up as a XFS repository, and got the creation of A XFS partition (sdb1) in /sdb working. But i cant figure out how to mount the drive in fstab.

This is what blkid gives:

/dev/sdb1: UUID="b256b52a-695a-471b-a1cb-76b0d99eb01a" TYPE="xfs" PARTUUID="25412a7a-01"

When im using a internal drive in VMWare, i use the syntax like this without problem:

'UUID=b532f390-071c-48b7-a8e5-28ca5ee23f5a /mnt/veeamrepo xfs nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

Im still learning this, but i cant figure it out. Anyone around to give a hint?

Also, how come /sdb1 is created, why cant i just format /sdb with XFS as when i use a internal drive?
