I want to mount an external block storage volume on my VPS and save backups there. Where do I configure this path?

Go to **Backups -> Standard Backups** in the sidebar -> click the **Backup Settings** tab -> locate the **Backup Path** field and change it from `/var/backups` to your custom mount path (e.g. `/mnt/backup_volume`) -> click **Save**.
