Perhaps more pressing problems, yes.  But the code already has a path to open files on all OSes; the point is only to make that path (potentially) distinct for the backups/logs and to make that configurable.  That does not really involve any OS-specific code, at least not beyond what must already be there.  This is more about the configuration that sets the path than the OS interaction.

Cheers,
Brook
