If you installed from source yourself, everything would be adjusted to 
where you set topdir during the install.  However some of those 
adjustments involved substituting into the code.  If you install a 
version packaged for a distribution, the topdir is essentially hardcoded 
to wherever the packager chose.  The easy way to use a different 
location is to copy whatever is under /var/lib/backuppc to your new 
location and then either mount it at /var/lib/backuppc if it is a 
separate partition or replace /var/lib/backuppc with a symlink to 
wherever you want.
