Description

In the refence manual, the description of backupDir argument for
all the backup procedures is incorrect.

current description:

BACKUPDIR
An input argument of type VARCHAR(32672) that specifies the full system
path to the database directory to be backed up.

it should be :

BACKUPDIR
An input argument of type VARCHAR(32672) that specifies the path to a
directory, where the backup should be stored. Relative path names are
resolved against the current user directory of the database engine,
not to the derby home directory. To avoid confusion, it is better
to use the absolute path name.

Above change is needed for the following backup procedures:

1)SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefbackupdbproc.html

2)SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE_NOWAIT
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefbackupdbnowaitproc.html

3) SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE_AND_ENABLE_LOG_ARCHIVE_MODE
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefbackupdbenablelogproc.html

4) SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE_AND_ENABLE_LOG_ARCHIVE_MODE_NOWAIT
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefbackupdbenablelognowaitproc.html

It would be great if some one with doc expertize can fix this for 10.2.

Thanks
