If you've installed with RPMs, say on CentOS or RHEL, then it's not hard 
coded. Or if you've installed it with Debian packages, you can change 
the path.

 From the web GUI:
Edit Config -> Server -> Install Path -> TopDir

 From the config.pl file:

$Conf{TopDir} = '/path/to/location';

Only thing I've heard is there is a bug with the RHEL/CentOS package 
where the pool directory remains in /var/lib/backuppc if you've 
installed from the RPMs.
