You can use tablespaces, see:

16:16 < akretschmer> ??tablespace
16:16 < rtfm_please> For information about tablespace
16:16 < rtfm_please> see http://people.planetpostgresql.org/xzilla/index.php?/archives/322-tablespace-management-variables.html
16:16 < rtfm_please> or http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/manage-ag-tablespaces.html

But read also the docu about backup/restore.

A simple file-system-copy on a running DB don't work as backup.
