I'm currently using the multiplatform suggested scheme:

B4X:

+ root dir
  common files
  + B4A dir
    android specific files
  + B4J dir
    pc specific files

the "export as a zip" and autobackup function of each environment, convert relative paths of each common module from .. to current dir, so the backup is not really useful to rebuild the full project

This is not a bug. The Export as zip builds a zip file with all the project files. It is technically not possible to keep the original folders structure for referenced modules.

I understand that.
What is the correct procedure for a proper backup of a multi platforms project?
Open each project, CTRL P for cleanup, then a zip of the whole root directory?
Is there a batch command for cleanup, so I can perform the whole procedure with a scripts?

This is a bug report. As I wrote above it works as designed. You should start a new thread in the questions forum for any other question.
