Hoi Hika,  the file ~/.mythtv/backuprc already
has DBBackupDirectory=/media/storage2/mythtv/Dropbox in it and only that,
and that is where mythbuntu backups go, yet mythconverg backups go to
/media/storage/mythtv/db_backups and weekly because it is in the weekly
file, I can move that, and I will try disabling the MCC backups to see if
the mythconverg go where I want them.
