Use backup_tmpdir for "local" backups too (locally mounted NFS)

Currently `backup_tmpdir` is used only for remote FTP destinations.
But when we're using a locally mounted remote NFS share for a backup destination, the temporary dirs/files are created on that locally mounted remote NFS share,
which is crazy with huge accounts, because:

1. DA copies temporary all user data to that locally mounted remote NFS share (data goes over network once, uncompressed, slow, because NFS is slow with huge amounts of files)

2. Then all these copied data is being tar-gzipped locally and stored on this share, so the data goes back (uncompressed) and forth (compressed) over the network again.

It would be great, when the backup process would honor the backup_tmpdir setting also for "local" backups.

I've mentioned this some time ago:
