I wanted to set a cron job for backing up all my org files as su= ggested by Suvayu Ali.

#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p ~/org/backup && \
find $HOME -type f -name '*\.org' ! -path "$HOME/org/backup/*&= quot; \
=A0=A0=A0=A0-exec cp -t ~/org/backup/ = \{\} \;


In Ubuntu I have put the bash file in cron.daily = but it seems it is not working. A little googling says I need to give full = path for directories. may I modify it like this ?

#!/bin/bash

find $HOME -type f -name '*\.org' ! -path "/home/USERNAME/org/= backup/*" \

Can anybody confi= rm the correctness of this code?
