If you install backuppc from scratch, the initial install script lets you put 
the top directory where you want, but if you installed a distribution package 
that step has already been done.  If you are just starting, the easy approach 
is 
to mount the filesystem you want at /var/lib/backuppc before installing the 
package and fix /etc/fstab to always mount it.  Otherwise, you can copy what is 
under /var/lib/backuppc to the new location and then replace the directory with 
a symlink.
