I'd like to put a filled backpack in my suitcase (for check-in luggage) along some other items -- this is to protect the items inside the backpack from damage.



Is this allowed/any other potential issues I should know about?

          Yes. A bag is not a restricted item and so you can back as many bags in your suitcase or another bag.



          This something I often do to carry specialty bags. I have used this to pack camera bags that I will use at my destination, backpacks to use for hiking or as day pack, beach bags, etc. My wife often packs some purses that match different outfits in too.



          There two things to be mindful about with regards to security, since they can open bags for inspection:



          • Make sure the inner bag can be opened too. If you lock you bags using TSA locks, either do not lock the inner bag or use a TSA lock there too.

          • If you have items that are likely to be inspected, then better put those in the outer bag directly. It will avoid them disturbing the contents of the inner bag and making a mess or simply leaving the items in the suitcase without putting them back in the inner bag. From my experience, repacking after an inspection is not done very carefully. Items with tubing, wiring, batteries are like to be inspected, so usually I place those in a different bag than fragile items. I carry a tripod, for example, that almost always gets the bag inspected, so I put it so that it is easily visible when the suitcase is opened.

            It's quite common.



            You can find plenty of questions on this site with recommandations to do so, e.g. to have a bag for dirty clothes to separate them from the clean clothes.
