You can perform a backup at the repository root level or at sub-levels. The full path of the
backup is not saved within the backup so that it can be restored at any repository
sub-levels later.
A backup can contain objects having dependencies with other repository objects, such as a
directory, configuration, data mapping, semantic mapping or physical data model. Each
dependent repository object is saved in the backup with its full path from the root.
When performing the backup, the start level name should not be in conflict with any root
level object names.
