The question doesn't make much sense in the context of backuppc.
Backuppc uses a specialized storage format that needs to be able to
use hard links on the archive filesystem.  Native linux filesystems
can handle that but remote filesystems using \\server\folder syntax
are normally windows shares that can't.   If you simply want a copy on
the other system there are any number of ways to do that.   Do you
actually want any of the features of backuppc (compression, pooling of
duplicate content, etc.)?
