Well, you can change the location of where the files wind up, but if you can change where they come from, let me know how. From Note:183570.1 Summary of Test Environment:

"Backups and copies on disk are available at the standby host with the same path names as in the target host."

Now, one would hope this was not a prerequisite, but it was in 8i, so if you RTFM different (there was no syntax to do it in 8i), let us know what you find.
