Re: BackupPC 4.1.0 released

In looking a the code, if config-path is specified then any current config
file is ignored.

If you specify dest-dir then all of the output files are put below there.

So if you specify both --config-path '' and --dest-dir, I believe any
existing install should be ignored.
