Generally, I do not like such implicit commits. It is likely to catch
someone by surprise. On the other, I do not think many people would
intentionally do backup as part of a larger transaction.
In my opinion, the ideal solution would be to execute backup in a
nested transaction. I do not know whether it is worth the effort.
