If you install from scratch, you get a chance to change the location
during the install. With a packaged version you have to keep the
preconfigured choice.

You can either symlink to the directory you want to use, or if you are
dedicating a whole partition to the archive you can use
/var/lib/backuppc as the mount point. In either case you have to copy
the existing data over first.
