Is it possible to move the wallet directory outside of the data directory?

When dash-qt first started, it says the data directory also holds the wallet file. I don't want to back up the blockchain (that would be silly - there are thousands of copies) but I do want to back up the wallet. Can I store the wallet elsewhere besides the data directory? I haven't been able to start dash-qt yet due to a bug, so I'm asking for later.
 
No, wallet.dat must exist inside data dir. You can however specify "-walletbackupsdir=<dir>" (folder should exist) and wallet will create backups there every time you start it. Btw, by default it is "backups/" folder inside data dir.
