And you misunderstood me also.

I was not asking what software you were using to do the backup as much 
as how you invoked that software. And THAT does makes OS, relevant, for 
example:

I would not expect a typical Windows user to be using scripts. But I 
would expect a typical 'nix user to be doing that or at least be willing 
to learn how.  So......

If the script NOW (when executed) runs the backup not a big deal to make 
that first run the find and move script and then the backup part.
