I thought the answer to that part of the question was obvious, since you 
had included it in your own message. Just prepend a "FileDirectory on:" 
before the above, i.e.,

   FileDirectory on:
     (FileDirectory default uri  resolveRelativeURI: '../backup') path.

This will answer the FileDirectory for the path you've constructed.
