I installed the Auto Backup HACS integration and I have a network storage configured in Home Assistant (FYI, I'm running HAOS). If I use HA's Developer Tools and manually call the "Auto Backup: Backup Full" service, there is a "Location" field where I can select my network storage. The backup successfully completes and saves to my network storage.

But in an Automation (based on the Auto Backup bluerpint), I can't find a way to configure the Location - it defaults to HA's data disk (i.e., /root/backup). DO I have to manually add the location in the yaml? If so, how do I access the actual yaml? When I select "Edit in YAML", all I see is the barebones blueprint YAML:

alias: Automatic Backups
description: using the Auto Backup HACS integration
use_blueprint:
  path: jcwillox/automatic_backups.yaml
  input:
    backup_time: "02:00:00"
    enable_yearly: false

When I view the automation's traces I can see much more detailed YAML, but I can't edit it.

Thanks for assistance.
