i really dont think what your trying to do can be done the way you want it to be done.
if there are other files in the directory along with the wanted "files", i would suggest you try creating a new directory and then moving only those wanted files into that directory. then backup the directory itself by using, (tar, cpio, dd). see if that helps at all
