Hi,

You could simply point a symbolic link (i.e. ln -s) from the /var/lib/backuppc 
to the mounted (in fstab) NAS location. This is better that changing the 
config.pl to point to the direct NAS location.

I don't think this would be possible. Unless you run backuppc on the NAS
itself, in which case it is easy.... You will need to find a way to
install backuppc onto the NAS which may vary in difficulty depending on
the model.
