you can`t. reseller cannot access admin files.
you could copy/move the file in shell or winscp to the reseller backups folder, correct the user/group right to those of the reseller, and try to access as reseller in normal way.
i`m not sure what you mean with "(php scripts)".

From a different reseller account then the admin account? Because every admin is also resellr and has it's own admin_backups directory.
It's possible when changing permissions, but that would break safety and permissions might be reset again. I wouldn't even think about it.
A reseller can also make reseller backups, not really a big difference with admin backup. According to @MaXi32 only the backup filename is different.
Maybe he has some good idea about working with things, if you can tell a bit more what you are intending to do and why.

Please don't quote full posts... now you have quoted 2 the same and I know what I wrote. 
As for backups, I do the same every night under my reseller account, backing up and transferring to my NAS, but I use the reseller backup option for that. So why don't you use that? It also works via cron.
I can't tell you in detail and steps how to do things via scripts and php, I'm not into php coding and it's a very non default way of backing things up.

I also tried to do this with the help of mysqldump and cronjab at the reseller level, but it gave me an empty file - I used Cpanel before and it was not a problem, but I do not know why it works like this in Direct AdminPlease don't quote full posts... now you have quoted 2 the same and I know what I wrote.

I still don't understand your problem. Did you have a look at the reseller backup option in Directadmin?

No problem. Just do not use a cronjob and php for it.
Use the reseller backup option for it from your reseller account, This will automatically create a cronjob for you.
Do you also have an empty file if you use that one?
