I agree with you both: Derek is right that it's a safe and sane default for shared backup locations. But we also have many users that will just use a single drive/partitions as their backup location, and never share it with other machines. This group probably wants to simplify the backup path, disabling the "host/user/profile" nesting.
Also there labels "host", "user", "profile" are a bit misleading. In the beginning I was thinking that I will break something if I modify that values in a way that they do not reflect the reality, e.g. adding a username that does not exist. Using host/user/profile as a default value is a good idea. But what this fields really are should be better explained somehow.
How about combining them into a single field? It could be pre-populated with real values for host/user/profile", but called "profile subfolder" or something and be freely editable (at least for a string that's a legal folder name).
But I'm afraid that such changes have a high potential for breakage, especially with older setups.
