org back up

Hi,

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

#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p ~/org/backup && \
find $HOME -type f -name '*\.org' ! -path "$HOME/org/backup/*" \
    -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 ? I am not sure about the "find $HOME" part and
guess rest of the paths are correct.

#!/bin/bash

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

Can anybody confirm the correctness of this code?

Thanks
