Thank you for your interest in this issue. However, it's safer to back up
from the absolute path for a variety of reasons, especially because there
may be symlinks involved in the path. Given that restoring should be an
infrequent event we can live with a minor inconvenience at that point to
have the safety of making sure that the backup itself is valid.
