Looks like you're using my contrib for sme server :)

The files in the pool are stored in a special way, they cannot be used
directly through a samba share (especially if they are compressed)

Changing the topdir won't work, you'll need to change the path in some
script (/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/...). Anyway, you cannot move just the
subfolder pc/, you need to move all the data dir

I never tried this way, but I think it's not a good idea

Sorry, but I think this cannot be done, just look at the directory pc/,
for example, the backup num 35 of the localhost:

ll /opt/backuppc/files/pc/localhost/35/f%2f/

You have a 'f' before each file name. If you are using compression,
you'll need to zcat each file before using it:

/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_zCat \
/opt/backuppc/files/pc/localhost/35/f%2f/fetc/fshadow > \
/path/where/you/want/your/file/to/be/restored

it's not very practicle
