Renaming schemes to prevent files from clashing can get pretty complicated. Some ones I actually see used are things like _cfg0000_log.conf, etc.
You could keep the absolute path, changing / into # or somesuch, so they all fit in one array.
But all of this seems pretty complicated for no benefit... I would just create a tarball. It can hold all the original file names, paths, permissions, owners, and timestamps without fuss.
Yeah, but I have another script which I use for restoring the files again. If I use tarball, that complicates the behavior of the restore script. Also, I'm also backing up whole folders in some cases (new addition), but in some cases I wouldn't be restoring the whole folder, but only a few files from it.

ARRAY_PAD(3) 1 ARRAY_PAD(3)array_pad - Pad array to the specified length with a valueSYNOPSIS
array array_pad (array $array, int $size, mixed $value)
DESCRIPTION array_pad(3) returns a copy of the $array padded to size specified by $size with value $value. If $size is positive then the array is
padded on the right, if it's negative then on the left. If the absolute value of $size is less than or equal to the length of the $array
then no padding takes place. It is possible to add at most 1048576 elements at a time.
PARAMETERS
o $array
- Initial array of values to pad.
o $size
- New size of the array.
o $value
- Value to pad if $array is less than $size.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a copy of the $array padded to size specified by $size with value $value. If $size is positive then the array is padded on the
right, if it's negative then on the left. If the absolute value of $size is less than or equal to the length of the $array then no padding
takes place.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
array_pad(3) example

$input = array(12, 10, 9);
$result = array_pad($input, 5, 0);
// result is array(12, 10, 9, 0, 0)
$result = array_pad($input, -7, -1);
// result is array(-1, -1, -1, -1, 12, 10, 9)
$result = array_pad($input, 2, "noop");
// not padded
