>> Is there any way to see physical location of archive Project Area?

The physical location of an archived project area is the same as when it wasn't archived.  It is still stored in the repository database.  Archiving a project area doesn't move or copy anything anywhere.  It simply sets a flag on the project area to indicate that it has been archived, which makes the project area less visible in the UI.  (The definition of "archive" in RTC and CLM is different than how the word is used in many other places.  This can lead to some confusion for new users.)

>> Is there anyway of backing up an individual project ?

No, there is not.  Entire repositories can be backed up and restored, but project areas cannot be.

No, this is not possible today as far as I know. You are not supposed to access the DB directly. The Application does that for you and knows how to retrieve the data and wrap operations into transactons.
