On another issue, what path can you give fb to tell it to save in an absolute location?
OK I see. Absolute position is forbidden by the browser web-extension API.
That's not possible (because of browser security concerns) and it's not needed.
Ok, I just realized that I can use ../.. to back out of the current directory. So that works. I don't need to send the backups to a different physical drive. Just one single point where they're not part of the weekly backup plan.
Important for those who don't use a root directory as the browser download dir.
As long as you stay inside the "browser downloads" directory "area" a ../twBackups as the "Backup directory" will work.
BUT as soon as you "leave" the "area" you will see this message in the browser dev Console (F12): save-wiki error: Error: "filename must not contain back-references"
I didn't think about this setting, that's why there is no user facing message atm. So if the setting is wrong there is no warning and NO BACKUPS

I will create a bug-report at github for this.
