It seems to be a known problem that moving the backup location by
setting $Conf{TopDir} does not work, because it is used to define the
location of config.pl when $useFHS is off. But, changing $TopDir breaks
BackupPC_link even when $useFHS is on. It is confusing that the config
value is used some places, but the default value is used in others.If certain values have to be hard-coded, then you shouldn't also allow those as configuration options. There is also no reason to force the backup pool to be in the same location as the config file, because it will be quite common to have a separate filesystem for backup data, so the backup locations should definitely not be one of the hard-coded items. Since BackupPC is designed to run with a backuppc account, you could require that the backuppc home directory be the config.pl location, and then you wouldn't need any hard-coded paths.
