A symbolic link would be an easy solution to the specific backups scenario assuming the backup software does not follow them. Otherwise, a custom paths.ini would solve in in this specific scenario. I'm not sure where people would prefer the folder to be in general. It belongs in App Data, like most other files (screenshots are possibly the only things that may belong in My Documents), but My Documents is easier for people to find, should they need to touch anything.

We could also put everything in App Data and automatically add a symlink or shortcut from my documents to the renegade folder in app data? Or add one to the start menu?

c:\ProgramData\ is an even better location, btw. That is shared among users, which is probably what we want for ttfs.

I guess symlinks could pose some difficulties with some backup programs. Perhaps create a button in WWconfig or in the startmenu. This because you'd *normally* not need to access it.
