This behavior is up to your browser.  Backuppc just downloads it to you. 
       If the file doesn't have an extension that your browser 
recognizes, it will just offer to save the file.  Where it goes is up to 
your browser configuration.

Yes, that's what happened.

Check your browser configuration to see where downloaded files go - or 
change it to ask each time.
