This is confusing.  Did you set your TopDir (location of the BackupPC storage pool) to /home/backuppc/storage?  If so, then you run into recursion while backing up /home (issue #1 on that link).

Are you asking about the location of the pool, or the restore directory when "sending the files to a remote computer?"

As far as I can tell, there's no (easy,built-in) way to separate out one client's backups to store in a different location.  Even if possible, doing so would remove those backups from deduplication.

But some people simply configure a 2nd BackupPC server to back up the primary, or mount the pool remotely via NFS, or configure the pool under a mounted RAID set and periodically rotate drives.
