Actually, not quite, any of the following should work:
1) mkdir /media/backups;chown backuppc.backuppc /media/backups;mv
/var/lib/backuppc/* /media/backups/;ln -s /media/backups /var/lib/backuppc
This will put the pool, pc, etc dirs onto /media/backups, and then
symlink /var/lib/backuppc to /media/backups. This should work, without
needing to modify TopDir/etc... put them all back as they were. Just be
careful when upgrading the package it doesn't remove the symlink in the
future.

2) http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount
[quote]
Since Linux 2.4.0 it is possible to remount part of the file hierarchy
somewhere else. The call is
    mount --bind olddir newdir

In your case: "mount --bind /media/backups /var/lib/backuppc"

I'm sure there are other methods as well, just search the mailing list,
the wiki, etc for TopDir....

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Adam
