What is your OS and what script controlling the backup?

Is there a way that these working files can be created in a separate 
directory? and is there a way these working files could be found and 
moved to a separate directory prior to the backup? are different questions.

PS -- ideally the shell script that does the move should first check for 
the existence of the "to" directory and if not found, create it. Then 
works first time run.
