Answer 2

Add this to your htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.test\.com$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.test.com/backup/ [L,R=301]

Answer 3

If you want it to be silent:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /backup/$1 [L,NC]

This will make http://test.com/ appear to contain the files inside /backup/ without having backup in the url

Answer 4

In your .htaccess file put:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.test.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ backup [L]

Answer 5

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.test.com/backup/ [QSA,L]

Answer 6

Redirect 301 / /backup
