[ale] BackupPC

[Steve Tynor]

I think that is an install-time configuration parameter (don't ask me 
why it's not in the general config.pl - I'm just a happy backuppc user, 
not a developer :))

To change the install dir after the fact, try editing the TopDir 
variable in /usr/local/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm. I'm not sure if 
that's the kosher, recommended technique, but I'd think it will work.
