I don't know if anything with a 64k flat text config file can be
considered easy to configure. But I'll grant you that next to some
packages (*cough*Sendmail*cough*) it's a breeze.

Yes, that helps, in that you're telling me that ArchiveDest doesn't do
what I think it does. 

So, my problem is that pool/cpool is going into the /var/lib/BackupPC
directory. But my / is only 10G, so it fills up. I want pool/cpool to
go into /home/BackupPC, which is 350G. How do I make it do that?

Thanks lots.
