Can I change where the WordPress Database Plugin saves the backups?

Currently (as of WordPress 2.0) the WordPress Database Plugin saves the backups in the folder wp-content/backup-xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is a randomly generated sequence). To change the folder used, change the wp-db-backup.php file. In Version 1.7 of the WordPress Database Plugin you would change line 22 of wp-db-backup.
