Public bug reported:
Currently, it appears that BiT uses the following as a basic structure
for the backup location:
$DEST/backintime/$when/backup/$origpath
This works great when the destination is only used as the backup target
for one system. However, when the volume is used to store backups for
multiple system this can become rather cluttered. As each system would
have to specify a new top level folder within the volume for itself.
Instead, I propose that BiT create a subfolder under the "backintime"
folder for each host:
$DEST/backintime/$host/$when/backup/$origpath
This is also similar to the path structure used by Apple's TimeMachine
backups. It would help keep all backups under a single root folder on
the destination volume. Thereby avoiding clutter and potential
confusion on what is and what isn't a BiT backup folder.
