If your backup is inside the same thing you backed up, you don't have a backup. You have an out of date copy.

All my backups are inside the same universe as what is being backed up. A boundary must be drawn somewhere and this is one of many reasonable boundaries. As I understand it, the backup isn't "inside" the volume but is attached to it so that deleting the volume deletes the backups.
