i want to configure the backup directory in bamboo 7.2

I'm running bamboo 7.2, and have noticed that the backup is being stored on the same disk that the service is using as a data directory:

This is what it looks like in the user interface

Backup path: /localDiskLocation/bamboo-home/backups/ 

The problem is that this field isn't configurable, so I can't change the value from the interface. According to some documentation it should also be configurable in the bamboo.cfg.xml file, however the name of the field is different every time I look it up (so far I've seen "daily.backup.dir", "backupDir" and several others), but no mattter, the above value isn't anywhere to be seen in my cfg.xml file. 

So: any ideas how to configure this?

Hello Rafer,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

Can you please check if the solution defined at How to configure scheduled backups to use a nonexistent backup path helps you.

I am not 100% if this param is available for Bamboo 7.2 or later version, do give it a try.
