Changing file & folder name for backup destination

Thread needs solution

I cannot find any way to change the seemingly pre-set name of "My backups" to something else. I would like to have an easy choice to specify the drive & directory/folder name where the backups should be stored. How can I do this and if not, why not?

Bad news and good news. The bad news is that the "My backups" is a fixed folder on every partition. User has no choice as to the name of the default.

The good news is that you do not have to use the folder and you can direct your backups to any folder you wish using any name you wish. Each task that you create should be directed to its own folder.

This link will provide more information--particularly figures 6, 7 and 8 but all could be helpful.
