As we are maintaing the folder and file IDs in DB , that's why I want the same IDs on backup

The point is to have a backup of the documents and folder structure, not of the document and folder IDs. If your goal is to achieve something else, then I'm not sure what to tell you - there aren't all that many options that are even feasible.

Yeah, but when I restore the same directory, all the IDs of files and folders will change

Add the entire root directory to a ZIP file, download that zip file somewhere local and safe (then delete it from within Appian). Assuming the zip file contains all files and redundant copies that you might need in the future, you can then do your appian-side file / folder pruning and be assured that you at least have copies of everything you started with, in case you need to manually recover anything.
