That's not the case. You can configure it to backup to a directory on the same device as the one you're backing up.

You could make a ext2/3 partition on the card and have that mounted on /media/card with a backup directory.
Although I'm not wanting to do this myself, I've no doubt it's doable. I'm a long term backup2l user - I fell in love with it after reimaging a foobarred server and having everything back up exactly as it was within an hour.
IMO backup2l is an unsung gem
