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.
