Specify alternative backup location #301

I wondered if it is possible to move the backup files to a different place. Having them all the config dir may make them easy to find, but they also create many directories there. In my case I would like to move them into a fixed subdirectory. This would make it possible to create a ZFS mount point for them and excluding the backup files from snapshots (saving gigabytes on every snapshot) As I am snapshotting every 5 minutes cleaning the backup files before snapshotting is no viable solution.

This wouldn't be easy to implement. Deciding if I want to tackle it.
