Your script is expecting an existing directory to be given as the backup location.

Also pls try to run the script as below and post the output
yourscript -a backup -l /tmp/Debug

Make sure that you have created /tmp/Debug before running the script,at the end of the run,check if see any directory named backup under /tmp/Debug

Thanks
