Change backup folder / Symbolic links?

Is it possible to change the folder for automatic FL Studio backups selectively, i.e. without changing the "User Data Folder"?

Currently, my User Data Folder is directed to my System SSD (C:\), but when working with large projects (approx. 3 GB because of large audio files in Edison), it very quickly totally clogs up with the backups, reducing its free SSD space to under 10 GB.

Would it for example be possible to create some kind of symbolic link just for the backups to have them deposited on an HDD (F:\) with plenty of space? Or is there another way, e.g. by changing key(s) in the Registry?

EDIT: Title expanded by 'symbolic links'.
