Really? You can't specify where archives are stored? What if your drive isn't

So for a server called webserver, the backup paths look like this:
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/sonny/6
Is it possible to change this path? We have two separate large raid drives
in our backup server. For simp

I've done it using the GUI. Bring up the affected machine on a Live CD,
run sshd and install the BackupPC root key. Create a mounted filesystem
