[fa.info-vax] file names in BACKUP save sets

If [X] is a toplevel directory, of device DBA0: say, then you can say
$ define FOO_BAR "__DBA0:[X.]"
$! and then
$ backup FOO_BAR:[Y...]; MTA0:

This is a way to strip off one level of directory from [X.Y...].
I don't know of a way to strip off more, since 
$ define FOO_BAR "__DBA0:[X.Y.]"
does not work.
