Bug Description

I want to use Back In Time to backup to a NAS that is accessible via SSH and SFTP. On the NAS, all user home directories are stored under /volume1; so, for example, my home directory is /volume1/homes/preed .

The problem I'm running into is that connections made using the SFTP module are chroot'ed to /volume1 . This means that rsync expects the target path to look something like "/volume1/homes/preed/backup", but sshfs (because it uses SFTP) needs the path to look like "/homes/preed/backup". Back In Time refuses to set up a profile because either sshfs or rsync fail to find the right path, so it would be useful to have an option to set them separately.
