Can you customize the destination of Auto Saves in AE like you can in Premiere?

Premiere has the handy function of letting you set your scratch disk and I'm wondering if After Effects has the same. Reason I ask is because I would like to keep all my auto-saves on a separate harddrive from my main project (as a backup in case anything happens to the drive). Any help/suggestions much appreciated!
